Regarding the film, do you think it’s not a coincidence that Jones County along with counties that opposed secession like Cook County, Texas and the counties that made up West Virginia had the fewest slaves?
To add to your list, we could add Winston County, Alabama, pretty much all of eastern Tennessee, Searcy County, Arkansas, and western North Carolina.
And no, it’s not a coincidence at all – where slavery was weakest, southern unionism was strongest and vice versa.
