With as many provisos and conditions as you have made on this statement, it becomes meaningless.

All I asked for was that the state fall clearly on the union side. Sure, this excludes states where loyalties were strongly divided no matter how much the Lincoln government pretended to legislate over them. But that's because the fact of that division itself means that they were not clear-cut unionist states! You can pretend that your side in Missouri was the better government than the elected confederate one but that will never change the fact that Missouri was a divided state.

When it comes to clear cut union states, there are only four that voted for Bush. What's so difficult to understand about that, capitan?

What is so hard for you to comprehend that the Union was comprised of states and territories?
