The correct choice is: "The majority of voters supported joining the Confederacy, but many other Texans did not."
Brief explanation: Texas’s secession convention voted to leave the Union in early 1861 and a statewide referendum (restricted to white male voters) approved secession by a large margin (roughly 46,000 to 15,000). However support was not unanimous—there were sizable pockets of Unionist sentiment (notably among German Texans in the Hill Country and some Tejanos and northerners), as well as enslaved people who opposed slavery and secession but had no political voice.
