Another note for those unaware East TN tried to leave TN and join the Union but was unsuccessful. Slavery was not supported in the area that was made up mostly of German, Scotch, and Irish families. Everyone in my family with the exception of one fought for the north during the war. Andrew Johnson is from there as well.

Alabama and Mississippi had counties succeed from the Confederacy. Or try. I don’t know if there were formal succession papers for those counties.

Jones County, Mississippi is probably the most well know due to the movie that was released a few years ago.
