No Ohio is infested with Southerners and has been almost since its beginning as people from Virginia and Kentucky were some of the earliest illegal immigrants to the area which became Ohio. After the U.S. revolution then people legally relocated from the south to Ohio as well as from the North. During the Civil War there were a lot of Southern sympathizers in Ohio, they were called Copperheads. And while the commander of the forces which literally started the Civil War by firing on Fort Sumter was no longer living in Ohio at the time, he was from Ohio. He had married a Southern Lady and supported the Southern cause so much that he accepted a commission in his States military and he literally ordered the artillery battery he commanded to fire on the Union forces which refused to abandon the fort there.
