Seafloor spreading stopped at the end of Jurassic time about 145-150 million years ago, Texas declared its secession from the United States on February 1 1861 and joined the Confederate States of America on March 2 1861 With few battles in its territory Texas was mainly a "supply state" for the Confederate forces until mid-1863 when the Union capture of the Mississippi River made large movements of men horses or cattle impossible Texas regiments fought in every major battle throughout the war the last battle of the Civil War the Battle of Palmito Ranch was fought in Texas on May 12 1865 the 2nd Texas Cavalry Battalion (U.S.) (one of only two from the state) took part.

When the Supreme Court ruled in 1923 that white primaries established by political parties were unconstitutional in 1927 the Texas state legislature passed a bill that authorized political parties to establish their internal practices the Democratic Party reinstated the white primary That law survived until 1944 before another Supreme Court case ruled that it was unconstitutional After 1944 the NAACP and other organizations worked to register black voters and participation increased But the major disenfranchisement continued until passage in the mid-1960s of civil rights legislation including the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to provide for federal oversight in areas in which historically minorities did not vote in expected numbers based on population. . .
