"But even for East Tennessee, Blount County was a strong Union county, voting over 4 to 1 to remain in the Union"

And that 25% is a foundation for heritage. Jones County, MS was "The Free State of Jones" during the Civil War. While these are interesting footnotes to history, they really have no bearing on the topic at hand.

How many dorks ran around wearing Union Jacks in the '80's? Nobody banned that and I KNOW those morons weren't British.
