Butternut was a term applied to inhabitants of the southern parts of Ohio, Illinois and Indiana in the early to mid-nineteenth century. Many of these settlers originated in the Southern United States, particularly Virginia, Kentucky and North Carolina. The term refers to the dye of the butternut tree, by which their clothes were colored. In the years leading up the American Civil War they generally supported pro-south and pro-slavery positions, often electing Doughface politicians. Their settlements hugged much of the border between free and slave states along the Ohio River.
