What? People in Oklahoma, Missouri, Kentucky and West Virginia can’t come to Jesus(land)? I’m certain the people in those states would be very surprised to know that.

Not to mention Idaho, and Montana. Try keeping those folks in Liberalland.

I can't tell whether your comment was said tongue-in-cheek but I will explain why my graphic just shows the eleven states that actually joined the Confederacy and seceded from the union before the Civil War officially started in 1861.

Missouri and Kentucky were accepted by the Confederacy after the war started but they never declared secession and were never fully controlled by Confederate forces. They retained their official adherence to the Union. Kentucky actually voted itself neutral in the conflict but allowed it's citizens to fight for whoever side they wanted. 2/3 fought for the South.

West Virginia was formed as a new state by Union sympathizers in Virginia and officially joined the Union side in 1863.

Oklahoma didn't become a state until 1907 and was just a territory during the Civil War.
