"the only unionist areas to suffer from the war were those in the South...east KY, east TN,etc. Talk about Reconstruction. From what I've seen these areas got Confederate Reconstruction...crummy roads, utilities, work projects, whatever. Talked to a few old times and they agreed that those parts of the State got the shaft from their states governments." [Chase]

Nope I STILL don't see anything in there about N.C., Social Security, Kirby Smith, or even Hawaii; or Stevenson, Alabama.

You cannot avoid what you wrote. If you continue to change the direction of the post... I will continue to post what you wrote. Let me remind you what that was...

This string was about the current conditions of "crummy roads, utilities, work projects, whatever" which you blamed on Confederate sympathies, which you cannot prove, in Eastern Tennessee and Kentucky.

How can anyone not acknowledge West Virginia, Ohio's allie, and compatriot state? How can fellow Unionist not see how much they have suffered under the Unionist governments since 1863? Just like Kentucky and Eastern Tennessee? "Crummy roads, utilities, work projects, whatever" and all that goes with it? God bless the GAR!
