re: Is Kentucky southern?

They were neutral in the civil war, and petitioned the Union for assistance when we tried to make them southern.

Kentucky voters voted for secession. Our governor at the time also favored it. The state representatives in Frankfort did not support secession. They wanted to avoid battle if at all possible. THEY are the ones who pleaded for federal assistance, not the people.

A Confederate government was set up in Bowling Green. The South was unable to hold Kentucky, even after invading Frankfort.


As wisely said above,the South has to start somewhere. And that beginning is right here in Kentucky.
