Was there any particular reason why these areas were more Unionist?
Most of it is miserable mountain country full of a people who were always hostile to the culture of the rest of the south.

Unfortunately they are now very similar to the rest of the white rural South, at least in terms of how they vote.

Did heavily German areas vote unusually Republican in 1916, 1940, and 1944? It seems from my extremely preliminary review that they did.
