Just saying,
You might want to re-check your History books. Oklahoma during the Civil War was not Union. Actually it wasn’t exactly Confederate either. However it might be noted that the “Five Civilized Tribes” did sign on with and supplied troops to the Confederacy’s TransMississippi theater.
Google Confederate General “Stand Watie” for instance, maybe “Albert Pike” even the Cherokee “John Ross” eventually signed on. Of course Ross was captured fairly early by Union forces, taken to DC and spent the rest of the war explaining his decision to go with the South.
Placing Missouri firmly in the ranks of the Union is a bit of a stretch too. “Sterling Price” for instance. “Jo Shelby” made an incursion into Missouri (if I remember correctly) in 1864 and gathered up a purt big number of volunteers.
Heck watch Clint Eastwood’s “Josey Wales” (I admit it-that ain’t in the History books.)
I did vote McCain by the way, I’m just a stickler on journalists’ not doing due diligence. I cringed too when Mr O claimed Malmedy was was an atrocity committed by Americans.
