I am reading a book right now, a biography of Ambrose Burnside, and the author made what I found to be an interesting aside where he comments that most Virginians on the Eastern Shore were Unionists. This surprised me as I thought that the Unionist region of Virginia was only the western part. I also thought that in Maryland t its Eastern Shore region was also strongly secessionist. So are there any studies, or just informed opinion on this? Was the eastern Shore Unionist or secessionist in feeling? Thanks
