Why do an overwhelming amount of Aggies not associate the state of Texas with the Confederate States from 1861-1865?
I was born and grew up in Texas and Texas was absolutely a big part of the Confederacy. Personally I grew up a Sam Houston fan (opposed secession, later kicked out of his governor's position for that).
And when playing BattleCry against neighborhood future Baylor kid I always wanted to be the North, he always wanted to be the South, because this time the South might win. He never went home happy .

I've never looked at it like that. My ancestors were on the wrong side of history, but I've never been ashamed of that.
