Super rural area, but it was still a wake-up call since I've never seen it before (city boy from the west coast). I counted at least a dozen - every second or third home I drove by seemed to proudly fly it. They are very common in rural parts of the West Coast. I don't remember seeing them growing up in New England, which is understandable given the results of the 1860 election. What's fascinating to me though is that apparently the parts of the South that are the most pro-confederate now were often the most unionist ones in 1861. WV and much of the western parts of what remains in VA voted to stay in the US in the 1861 secession referendum.
