Kentucky and Tennessee were also Union states, but they are placed in the South.
I was just taking a guess as to why MO was depicted that way. May be wrong.
Bull! TENNESSEE was a CONFEDERATE state! My great-great
grandfather was a Confederate soldier who fought at
Shiloh, TN - a bloody battle! His words to my grandmother
when she was a child, “Shiloh was a horrible MESS, Izora!
So much confusion, so much gunfire I could not even tell
whether or not I killed anyone - but don’t know how in
the world I could have even helped killing people!”
I’m almost 70. Grew up with my parents taking me to the
battlefield at Shiloh; the Bloody Pond was still very, very
dark blood stained when I was a child. It has faded with
time; as wars tend to do. TN was the last out of the Union
& the first state back in the Union; but we were OUT for
a time, let me assure you. - Can’t speak for KY. - YA’LL
invaded our land & our homes. Mr. Lincoln was not
worshipped quite like you people worship him. Daddy
always said Lincoln WANTED that war, that he did not have
to INVADE THE SOUTH! - Now, ya’ll move down here to escape
the cold up north & carp about how STUPID us Rebs are.
WONKERS! Stay up there!!
