Since the war carpet baggers from
ne North have made longer o,
shorter stay in the South, but or
gained emigration from this part
of the country to the other is as yet
.llnos unknown. The same truth |
Odds in II general way as to the
South. No more Mississippians ever
found their way into the North than
natives Of Maine into the South.
There has always been one notable
exception to this rule. The Ohie
River has acted as a magnet to
draw population from the South
across ts waters into the free States,
and the influence of it's western tri-
butaries, especially the Tennessee,
in the same direction can easily be
traced.
Virginia, which is the Vermont
Of the Southern States in the large
ness Of her contributions to other
commonwealth, nearly SO per cent.
of her natives living elsewhere, has
always sent many Of her cons to
Ohio. Even before the war the cen
, sus OF 1860 showed no less than
: 1884 natives of Virginia in Ohio.
1t was from this source that Ohio
derived President William Henry
Harrison, whosettlcd:in thesouthern
part Of the State, aud it was Vir.
snia Lincoln whose son Abraham,
born in Kentucky and moving thence
in early life across the Ohio, first
into Indiana and then into Illinois,
became the great war President.
Maryland felt. the same influences,

. settled in Ohio at about the same

tered the State.
