In many instances the same areas.....and this comes from the spawn of the same people.
What Texas (and others) complained of is what we would now call "state sponsored terrorism." The big shock from John Brown's raid was:
A) they were carrying Sharps rifles which were the newest and best...and were very expensive. No rag tag bunch of poor terrorists could possibly have afforded those and everybody knew it instantly.
B) when several prominent New Englanders openly admitted that they had put up the money/sponsored the terrorist attack, their states refused to prosecute them or extradite them.
Just imagine if after 9/11 a bunch of prominent Saudis had publicly announced that they sponsored the terrorist attack and the Saudi government then refused to prosecute them for it or hand them over. What would the American people have thought? What would they have demanded? How would the US Government have reacted to that?
It was the same then......the same realization many of us have had about Leftists in the last decade. ie These are not merely people I disagree with or my political opponents. These people genuinely want us dead. They are actual enemies. That's how most Southerners felt after that. They were given damn good reason to feel that way.
I keep pointing this out. All the d@mn liberals today still come from the same areas of the country that were strongly Republican in the 1860s. The Republicans were the *LIBERALS* in that era.
1860 Republican's political ideology looks a lot more like Modern Democrat's political ideology. They all favored huge taxes, government spending, and "social change."
B) when several prominent New Englanders openly admitted that they had put up the money/sponsored the terrorist attack, their states refused to prosecute them or extradite them.
Just like modern wealthy liberals were financing ANTIFA, and the fiery protests in 2020. For some reason, pallet loads of bricks kept showing up at protests.
