Given that many were shot by citizens of the Commonwealth of Virginia, you would be wrong...
Note that in the election of 1860 that Virginia gave its electoral votes NOT to the Democrats, or Republicans, but to the Constitutional Unionists (John Bell and Edware Everett). Just as did her daughter the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the State of Tennessee.
So they couldn't have all been southern Democrats...
