Oklahoma wasn’t part of the Confederacy, since it didn’t exist as a state at the time. But the people there……well, let’s just say their beliefs are in line with the confederacy.

These weren’t enlightened, educated people. They weren’t nuclear physicists. They were blue collar workers at the nuclear plant.

My Dad was born and raised in Oklahoma, and he couldn’t get out of there fast enough. On his eighteenth birthday, he enlisted in the Air Force and put the sod buster state behind him.
