The FALSE statement is "Governor Sam Houston fled Texas and joined the Union Army because he felt it was his duty to preserve the Union.

What was true was that Texans viewed Abraham Lincoln’s election to the presidency as a threat to their economy, governor Sam Houston opposed secession, claiming it was unconstitutional, and the Confederate States of America created a constitution and instituted the Conscription Act.
