1. He named delegates for the state constitutional convention

Explanation:

In 1869, he was elected Governor of Texas, winning over Andrew Hamilton. During the reconstruction, Davis's opponents accused him of violating the first amendment to the Constitution. On July 22, 1870, Texas police began fighting state crime, including against racial crimes, which sparked protests from former slaveholders and supporters of segregation. Davis also created the "state guard" and "reserve militia" units, which became the forerunners of the Texas National Forces. Davis' Governorate was marked by support for African American civil rights. Davis was very unpopular among the former Confederates, but he was considered a hero of the Union army and earned respect from Hispanic citizens in the border area of Rio Grande.
