Plus, plenty of Appalachian regions full of subsistence Farmers seceded or attempted to secede from the Confederacy (e.g. West Virginia and East Tennessee) and waged insurgencies against it. Often in tandem with guerilla bands of runaway slaves.
The South was at much at war with itself, as it was with the North in many cases.
Do you have any readings on that, it sounds awesome.
The podcast Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff did a couple of really good episodes on this topic: Part 1 Part 2
As for readings, the book War at Every Door: Partisan Politics and Guerilla Violence in East Tennessee, 1860-1869 by Noel C.Fisher goes into a lot of depth about the East Tennessee insurgency.
