I noticed a mention of Sevier County. Sevier was as Unionist of an area as any. The vote against secession in the second election was 1528 to 60.

I wonder what the first one was? Seriously there were plantations in Sevier County.

The first vote in Sevier was 1243 to 60 against the convention which was unusual because the vote against secession actually increased in the 2nd vote.

the plantation owners in Sevier apparently just didn't have the critical mass needed to influence the vote there as was done in the West.
