So let's just say the CSA says TN is non-negotiable and gets to keep it, Kentucky MAY or MAY NOT be in the CSA. So Tennessee could be in 2 different situations.

1. Kentucky (either by Super-Perryville or Plebecite) is in the CSA and majority pro-Confederate Tennessee is insulated from the yankees by the state of Kentucky, Nashville is the other largest industrial city outside of Richmond by war's end, Nashville, Knoxville, Memphis and Chattanooga are all intact.

or

2. After a victory in 1863/64, Tennessee is the CSA's border frontier and Nashville, the other big industrial postwar city is in okay shape while being a mere 2 counties away from an international border while other Tennessee cities are in shambles.

In both scenarios, how does the state look socially, politically and culturally?
