You just can't beat culture!

Actually, pretty much all the States had folks fighting on each side, some just more than others.

Also, the mountainous regions of the southern States often didn't agree with the rest of the state, especially about seccession. The State of West Virginia is the best example. However, the inhabitants of the Smoky Mountain region of Tennessee and North Carolina also didn't agree with the rest of their state. They were just too isolated from the Union.

Very true. I'm from Alabama (roll Tide!) and there were people that fought on both sides for many different reasons.
Also we had "The Free State of Winston" an area that basically seceded from Alabama after it seceded from the Union.

That's really interesting. I had never heard about that before.

Yes we have some interesting people around here.

Now that you've introduced the rural area to your brand of culture, even though it might not have been the best of experiences, it might be a good idea to make occasional visits back to the same pub. Minds are only going to be changed when they get used to the idea.

Of course, don't go back if you don't feel safe. You never want to put yourself in harm's way.

The more they get comfortable with you and the kilt the more they're likely to ask questions and learn. They may never be able to bring themselves to the point of wearing a kilt themselves, but that will be their problem, not yours.
