As an aside, some people in my thread said that this was sufficient for WV not to be 'southern.' I don't think that's so obvious! As you can see, many parts of the South had union loyalties. They failed to breakaway, but if they did, I'd say an eastern TN would be Southern — PolitiTweet.org

For fun, here's a map of the 1916 election (still some missing data on cleaning this up, but good enough). WV even voted GOP in this election, the best Dem showing from the Civil War to 1932. The contours of the Solid South are clear enough https://t.co/GHSWInu0PT — PolitiTweet.org

West Virginia instead becomes a blue state in the New Deal, with political loyalties forged in the eras fights over industry, labor, etc. Here's the swing from 16-44, where impoverished areas, urban north, TVA, and old economy resource extraction zones swing D https://t.co/b0AmRAoTtN — PolitiTweet.org
