Those bluish, greenish regions are the regions that
-
tended to be against secession.
-
They're the regions that had the least slavery.
-
They're the mountainous regions.
-
They're the upland regions.
-
And we've now had detailed studies of secession done,
-
and state by state-- especially in Georgia,
-
in North Carolina, Alabama, other places--
-
that show us that by far
-
the highest support for secession was
-
in those counties or those regions with the largest numbers of slaves.

And this is where Charles Dew fits right in.
