In OTL there was very little visible opposition to slavery amongst Southern whites. Yet it is clear that numbers of poorer folk felt that slavery was unfair competition. I cannot believe that some more establisment people were not at least a bit embarassed by "the peculiar institution".

I have the impression that a slave revolt, Nat Turner's I think, called for- or was alleged to have called for- the killing of all whites other than Quakers.

I believe that this hardened attitudes.

Could there have been any cooperation between Hill country whites and resisting slaves?
