You would be interested to know the term “ bridge burners originated from the area . Several southerners were doing that to prevent rebel advancements . There is a statue actually commemorating that somewhere in Johnson city near the federal grounds. It is not highlighted too much.

I don’t know if I’d call it the vast majority. My families from East Tennessee and they fought for the South at least one of them died doing so. My understanding was that East Tennessee desired to be left out of it more than anything

Maybe not vast, but definitely the majority

It's true that early in the war pro Union spies burned a lot of bridges in East Tennessee, which led to the Rebs flooding the area with troops

I don’t really hate them. When they aren’t playing us I usually pull for them. I just hate losing to them more than I do anyone else
