I guess the war was the source of many of the long-running feuds that many associate with the mountains of WV,KY,TN,NC,GA and AL.
Although the most famous feud, Hatfield - McCoy, was over land, money and eventually murder, it was waged back and forth between KY and WV. There is still a lot of resentment, however, over the War within the state of WV. As someone who moved here recently, I've tried to acquaint myself with the history and culture of the Mountain State and am finding it most fascinating.
Yes, indeed, most mountain folk were Unionists, as far south as Alabama.
