So... with this region's historical opposition to the pre and post-Civil War Democratic establishment, much having to do with distrust of said establishment; to it's flirtation with progressive politics in the early 1900s... could someone explain to me why East Tennessee remains to this day by far the most Republican part of the state? It would seem by this point most Southern regions have fallen into ideological line with the current state of the major national parties. East Tennessee... not so much. Is it just an anomaly or is there something unique about this region that would lead it to continue its loyalty to the GOP?
