The Civil War significantly affected the government of Texas, particularly in terms of leadership and political alignment. The correct answer to your question is:

  1. Alexander Jackson Hamilton became provisional governor.

This marked a shift in leadership from those aligned with the Confederacy to a government that would operate under Union authority during the Reconstruction era.
