Just curious, which state do you think would have been the most likely to stay within the Union instead of join the CSA. If you wish to, discuss the implications. Also, forgive me if I'm beating on the old ACW drum once more, but its the period I'm working on at school and on my timeline, so why not?

Tennessee, if I remember correctly, voted against leaving the Union....but the pro-Confederate governor orchestrated it anyways.....and throughout the war, Tennessee was pretty divided in its loyalties.

After TN, VA and NC are probably the most likely.

North Carolina was the last to join the Confederacy.

Well, yes, but that doesn't mean they were the most likely to stay within the Union. I think North Carolina would have suffered considerably had they stayed within the Union, yet Virginia and South Carolina held their borders. I wonder how fast they'd go down.

Hmmm...as long as Virgina doesn't seceed the rest of the Northern tier won't either. If Virgina seceeds the rest will certainly follow.

If Virginia stays, which was quite likely, then Lee would be the leading commander of the Union forces from the get-go. Lincoln would probably not do the Emancipation Proclamation, and the later Amendment (forget which number it was) abolishing slavery, though, in order to avoid antagonizing Virginia.
Stonewall Jackson probably would've become the main Confederate general. Either him or Pierre Beauregarde.

I thought he emancipated slaves only in rebellious states.

I did a search for it online, but the only thing I got with it as an actual place (rather than someone's username) is this thread. x_x

Only 25% of Texans voted against the succession referendum, which demonstrates why Houston couldn't keep Texas in the union.

Most Texans lived in the east part of the states which was much like the rest of the south environmentally. Most Texans were 1st or 2nd generation immigrants from southern states.

And ranching didn't become really big until after the war.

Thandiana, established after the American Revolution by rebellious poor white farmers led by Thande Oliver Miller. When they sent their emissaries to Washington D.C. demanding their own state because of North Carolina's abuse, Washington was having trouble with North Carolina anyway over federal taxes, and so they negotiated a compromise. Thandiana became a state, and North Carolina was granted the first semi-autonomous laws that was eventually spread amongst the rest of the slave states, and continued to exist until the Civil War that integrated them into the Union in 1860. Don't you know your US history?

Quit taunting the new guys, D.

We often name false poll options for Thande, one of our members who we admire. And blame.

Thanks. I've seen Thande on here, and I had guessed the reference to him once I saw absolutely no reference to Thandiana on Google, but I didn't know that commonly popped up.

That's no excuse!

Wait, you're not from the city, are you?

Tri-Insula is hardly part of the real New York. I'm from the Saratoga area, up near Albany.
