[QUOTE="Brandonm22, post: 644116, member: 7645"] Ya'll romanticize the Old South too much. The truth was that a lot of the small farmers in the hill country hated the rich planters which dominated the politics, government, and economy of the pre-War South. Winston County, AL actually seceded from Alabama over the war. Here we had plenty of folks who volunteered for the Union forces. The 1st Alabama Cavalry was composed of pro-Union whites from North Alabama. [url=http://www.1stalabamacavalryusv.com/loyalist.asp]http://www.1stalabamacavalryusv.com/loyalist.asp[/url] One such St Clair County farmer turned Union soldier came back following the war then hunted down and killed every war time County commissioner one at a time for what he felt was mistreatment of his wife. The Methodist Church here in Moody even refused to split with the northern Methodist Church (as most did) because the congregation (none of whom owned any slaves) opposed secession. Yell County Arkansas also seceded from Arkansas over secession. West Virginia and east Tennessee both had lots of pro-Union sentiment. [/QUOTE]
