I read a book about the Jones County affairs in which I discovered that, surprisingly, the ACTUAL disparity between For-Secession counties and Against-Secession counties was greater than the official votes show. Jones County voted overwhelmingly against secession, but the representative they sent to the state vote was unnerved by the secession firebrands, who intimidated that representative and a number of others into voting for secession, trivializing their own counties' actual votes.
Was this a widespread thing? If such an incident occurred in Mississippi, deep in the South, I can imagine that the disparities may have been even greater in more on-the-edge (figuratively speaking) states, such as North Carolina, Virginia, and Arkansas.
