Face it, Rebs, in 1860 the vast majority of the state was either enslaved or a slaver; the non-slaving free population was a distinct minority and thus the political winds needed only blow in the plantation owners' direction. The call to arms was enforced by law... sure there was an innate fighting spirit and propaganda as well but the force of law compelled the able-bodied to fight, pride or not.

It is painful to read other free Americans bemoan the fact that the Confederacy wasn't allowed to simply become its own banana republic ad infinitum.
