b: They were afraid slavery would be abloished
Yes, that is correct. Many Texans were concerned about the future of slavery in the United States after Abraham Lincoln was elected president. Lincoln had previously voiced his opposition to slavery and many Texans feared that his election would eventually lead to the abolition of slavery in the country. This fear was one of the factors that contributed to Texas' decision to secede from the Union and join the Confederacy during the Civil War.
