I am not from Kentucky/West Virginia, nor a student of the feud, but, Hatfield is an English name (Hatfield House is where Elizabeth I spent some of her childhood). I had read somewhere long ago that the English/Scottish and Confederate/Union differences added gasoline to the fire of this feud. I watched the series and enjoyed it. I really felt sorry for Roseanna and most of the other non-combatants caught up in this violent saga.
