A slave owner, Cobbs nonetheless opposed Alabama's secession from the Union and ordered Alabama clergy to omit prayers for the Confederate Congress and President from services. Cobbs died in Montgomery, Alabama, on the day of his state's secession from the Union on the eve of the American Civil War. The Bishop Cobbs Home for Orphans in Montgomery was named for him.
