Sheesh, lots of fat typing on my iPhone there. Let me try again:
WV ain’t Southern. It’s a Border State. That was settled in 1863. Plus, WV voted for the GOP presidential candidate in each of 1896, 1900, 1904 and 1908; of the 13 Southern states (OK was admitted in 1907), only once did a single state vote for the GOP presidential candidate, and it was KY voting for McKinley over Bryan by less than 300 votes in 1896.
That’s why I put it in parenthesis, intending to show it as optionally Southern, Robert Byrd thought so when he made a cameo as a Confederate General. Other people think so also. I wouldn’t call it Southern.
