[edit] Map request
I want to see a map. Thank you! -- Toytoy 16:35, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] How Serious?
I'm still researching this. I don't know how serious or far-along the proposal actually got before the United States declaration of war made it a moot point. My guess is that individual counties would have signed articles of secession from the CSA, and since the proposal never went so far as to have a delegation, which counties would have been involved is unknown. "North Alabama and East Tennessee" appear in several references, North Georgia and Mississippi are mentioned in at least one source. If I find anything more specific, I'll try to create a map.

- I remember from history class hearing that several North Ga counties seceded from the state after Ga seceded from the union. And of course, this process was exactly how WVa came to be. There is definitely truth to this, but it's hard to pin down specific sources. Also, this page should move to Nickajack secession or something similar since Nickajack apparently refers to a region, and also a cave. Alcuin 01:40, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- I am from Union County, Georgia. About 90% of Union County men fought for the Confederacy and the rest for the Union or did not fight at all. I do not know what counties you refer to, but I have never heard of North Georgia counties seceding.
- There is precedent for disambiguating related concepts in the same article. --Dystopos 02:07, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Swirl of info
- Someone with a clearer head than me might be able to rewrite this. The Jack Civil stuff needs to stay, but the alternate toponym only merits a slight mention. --Dystopos 20:40, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
