Hurray for the Southern Uninoists!
My ancestors were Southern Unionists, and we've been Republicans since the Civil War!
There were many Southern Unionists, though most people don't know this. I read somewhere that every seceded state (aside from South Carolina) had a substantial Unionist population.
BTW, when New England was threatening secession in the days of the Essex Junto and the War of 1812, Southerners called them "traitors."
