They were Confederates and it makes me unhappy whenever I see that state name.

It's full of bigoted cockholsters anyway.

I wonder if they ever fly South Vietnams flag in Vietnam these days?

Guess who is is number one on this **** list? And we need to give a big shout out to the Republican controlled state government in West Virginia. After less than a year in office they have done an amazing job in keeping us off lists like this.

Actually, Tennessee was a divided state, much like Virginia. The eastern 1/3 was mostly pro Union while the western 2/3's were pro-Confederate and heavily dependent on a slave owning cotton economy.

The difference between the two states is the B&O RR with Federal support backed a long simmering secessionist movement in Northwest VA. The Union needed the B&O to supply troops and foodstuffs from the Midwest to the armies in Northern Virginia, and to send troops from the heavily populated Northeast to fight in the Western theater.

It's often been said that WV is the only state ever created by a railroad.
