I lived in Ohio a long time. I was always a bit confused as to why the confederate flag was so popular in ohio. I think similar things are true in Indiana. It was more popular there than in Texas.

One of Lincoln’s big concerns during the early days of the war was keeping Ohio and Indiana in the union. Union vs Confederate sympathies were not as clearly defined as portrayed today.
