When it comes to states trying to leave the Union, were the benefits some what negated by Unionist sentiment? For example, if Kentucky or Maryland did secede, that doesn't necessarily mean everyone in the state would've mirrored the sentiment and action. Back in the day, how many people believed in loyalty to your state rather than the Federal Government?

States like Tennessee and Virgina provided plenty of men for the Union, this shows many in those states wouldn't follow without question.

Thoughts? Discuss.
