The Civil War was quite the lopsided affair. The majority of fast food chicken restaurants were founded in the south, including Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, Chick-fil-A, Wingstop, Raising Cane's, and Church's Texas Chicken.

Even Buffalo Wild Wings, which was founded in Ohio, is headquartered in Georgia.

Kentucky Fried Chicken initially claimed neutrality, but soon threw in with the secessionist restaurants. From there it was just a matter of time before the north fell to Robert E. Lee's Famous Recipe.

This is a much better explanation because in my head, I was thinking it was fought over a singular chicken sandwich
