With some of the earlier discussions about the alleged inferior treatment of Unionist counties in border and Southern states, I found this posting and Beulah Karr's contention that Confederates in parts of Tennessee were unwilling to reveal their military service interesting.

Please don't start a News & Views style discussion on the Tennessee site. If you do have something to contribute to the Tennessee thread and this "specific" topic feel free to respond; however, I'd prefer that we discuss Ms. Karr's remarks here and/or invite her here to discuss her research.

...and be nice.
