“Ignorant”? Seriously? Nothing to do with that. Of course Tennesseeans know they were Union.
I wasn’t referring to a literal Civil War South v. North, just general southern mindset, which does exist in TN. I was born in PA, raised in NY, and I’m proud to be part of the south — Dixie — now.
And they’re pissed about the overall caving to political correctness — which Dolly is doing.
You are right about there being a different mindset in Tennessee than in the leftist urban coastal culture. But I think that divide is more rural versus urban than north and south. And rural culture should not be linked closely to the Confederacy, a power-grabbing movement that ruthlessly exploited the common man, both black and white.
