The major difference between the people of Western Virginia and the people of Eastern Tennessee is that that the Tennesseans were less successful at freeing themselves, politically, from their confederate brethren.

"Almighty God,our heavenly Father, in whose hands are the hearts of men,and the issues of events,not mixed up by locofocism,nor rendered offensive in thy sight by being identified with men of corrupt minds,evil designs,and damnable purposes,such as are seeking to upturn the best form of government on earth,Thou hast graciously promised to hear the prayers of those in a humble spirit,and with true faith-such as no Secessionist can bring into exercise-call upon Thee.Be pleased,we beseech Thee,favorably to look upon and bless the union men of this commonwealth...Possess their minds with the spirit of true patriotism,enlightened wisdom,and of persevering hostility toward those traitors,political gamblers,and selfish demagogues who are seeking to build up a miserale Southern Confederacy,and under it to inaugurate a new reading of the Ten Commandments,so as to teach that the chief end of man is Nigger!" (Brownlow.) Since we did not actualy lose the second voting and did in fact win the Civil War, what's the problem? Are you all Confederates? I thought Most of you were Commies. All this stuff comes from universities not some punk kids rant page. So you all look pretty stupid. Really boys the South lost. We won ,Is that so hard to understand. Their claims were not valid. They were criminals, so we hunted them down and killed them. Its what we do best.

And First of two has part of the answer. We really did have the Confederates beaten at the polls.They pulled a fast one, stole the state returns and ballot boxes of seven counties.They also registered Confederate troops for the sole purpose of that one vote.So Tennessee was never legaly part the confederacy. :)P.S. We had no Confederate Brethren just enemies to destroy.

The point was proven long ago. They just don't mention it in schools now days. Just another bit of history. Good read though. WAR AT EVERY DOOR; Noel C. Fisher, 1997, University of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill and London.

"Keep it before the people that it is proper and right for union men to shoot down upon sight, each and all of these murderers and that it is the duty that East Tennesee Union men owe to their country, to their God and to their abused relatives to see that these men,each,anyone of them, or all, die violent deaths, if they dare show themselves in East Tennessee during the present century."
Okay, see, that century is over, though. So's the one that followed. So you're a little out of date.

How the hell did you figure we were commies? let alone supporters of the Confederacy? The fact remains that Tennessee supplied large numbers of troops to the Confederate army. Yes, there were significant pro-North elements but the state was still part of the CSA, regardless of the numbers it supplies to either side. Read Battle Cry of Freedom by James McPherson for a very good narrative and analysis of the war.

Still mixing up numbers with facts. Since you don't realise why the numbers came out like they did. Tennessee was occupied by the Confederates. People were intimidated,beaten,kidnapped,murdered,and unable to even get to the polls because of outsiders and their corrupt political allies.For an east tennessean to join the federal forces they had to escape from their own state,which was sealed off by the rebs. Middle tennesseans who did not toe the line were often killed by the rebs. Changing the outcome of that second vote by fraud and terrorism, change what happened later.By ignoring that your logic is flawed. The same is true today.The second vote was invalid and there for Tennessee was never truly a confederate state. The facts have always been there. Your lack of logic in the face of facts is the problem. Before the facts are presented you have an excuse after that you don't. And Commies is a jest. They always were a joke.

The Confedracy took control of this state. We did not join them. Tennessee was captured territory. Any other point of view supports terrorism.Not fighting terrorism supports terrorism.Not recognizing the effects of terrorism supports terrorism. Why people do what they do is more important than what has been done. Ignoring human nature in the study of history is stupid.

It all started with me explaining to Mr. Mountain Man that he was, in fact, 53 years old, and not 13.
And then, suddenly, Mr. Man says:
quote: P.S. Tennessee was not part of the Confederacy.
Which simply isn't true. What then followed was a hard-to-follow, mostly one-sided list of arguments why Tennesseans ARE NOT racists, and WERE NOT Confederate.
While in fact, no-one has on this board has ever said you were a racist, and no-one here really cares about what side your state was on during the Civil War. Perhaps now you can understand our general feeling of "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS MAN TALKING ABOUT!? AND HOW DO WE STOP HIM!?"

I think that what everyone fails to realize is that we are in very dire danger that the Tennessee union men and confederates might very well be zombies and continue fighting today. Of all of us, only MountainMan is brave and intelligent enough to bring up this very real threat of the Civil War beginning anew one hundred and forty years later with no concern for the progress which may or may not have been made during the roaring 1920s and the new wave/progressive rock era, possibly spilling over into other states, such as Utah.
