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.
...while the ones in Texas were German enclaves (and rabidly unionist for that very reason.)

Did heavily German areas vote unusually Republican in 1916?
Certainly did in Wisconsin.
IIRC Green Bay voted unusually Democratic that year... Green Bay is about the only place in the US with a sizeable Belgian immigrant community.
