East, Tennessee had the first paper in the entire US dedicated solely to abolition AND was an area that voted to stay with the UNION to the tune of 80-90 percent. We were considered the freest soil in the entire Union to speak about abolition. We were more union than most union states that were far more divided on the war. When TN had it's 2nd vote on secession the Governor sent troops to Knoxville to suppress the vote and confederate troops were seen as occupiers. When the state finally did secede we tried on more than one occasion to secede from the state. Our representatives were the only ones who stayed in congress - we did not leave the federal government.
When Knoxville was freed we threw a party for the Union Army. East, Tennesseans accompanied Sherman on his March. UT itself was pro-Union. And I could go on...
Of the founding SEC members only UGA is older than UT.
Point being: Confederate =|= SEC or South.
I love it when my tiny troll comments on the SEC Rant lead to posts like this.

Why? You'll get that general response from me a lot not because I feel you're trolling Mizzou but because too many people think that being southern = confederate. Revisionist history has been embraced by southerners and northerners alike when it comes to this mythical and unified narrative of the entire North = 100 percent Union and the entire South = 100 percent Confederate.
Besides, I don't know you as a poster well enough to say what you believe about it all or whether or not you knew better when you posted it but were just fricking with Mizzourites. I simply know that far too many believe that completely mythical view of history.
