Alabama provided little in the way of leadership to the Confederacy. Kentucky provided significantly to the leadership of the country, more than anyone except maybe, maybe Virginia.

Country folks in East Tennessee and Kentucky are just as likely to be Ohio-type hick country as they are southern country. Weird and unfortunate mix!

Yea but they didn't finish the deed and secede...so it doesn't count. Half your state was loyal to the Yanks.

I was born and raised in middle Georgia, lived in Atlanta, down Bayou Lafourche, Athens, Bryan, Texas, the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. They are all different, but they are all Southern, and that's a fact. Hell, I've been to Cincinnati, and I must say, even there I detected a bit of a Southern feel to it. So, yea, Kentucky is The South, as is the southern third of Missouri.

let's start with this small, but kinda important detail..
Alabama supplied 120,000 Confederate Troops out of its 529,121 "free people
vs.
kentucky supplied 35,000 Confederate troops out of its 930,201 free people
you reckon there were some socio-economic factors that might have causation . hmmmmm..
Kentucky in 1860.
population = 1,155,684/ 930,201*free
# of farms = 83,369
value of farmland = 291.5 million
# of Factories = 3,450
value of Manufactured Products = 37.9 million.
vs
Alabama in 1860.
population = 964,201/ 529,121*free
# of Farms = 50,064
value of farmland = 175.8 million
# of Factories = 1,459
value of Manufactured Products = 10.6 million
but even with those hindrances:

Alabama was central to the Civil War, with the secession convention at Montgomery, the birthplace of the Confederacy, inviting other slaveholding states to form a southern republic, during January–March 1861, and to develop new state constitutions.
quote:
Even before secession, the governor of Alabama defied the United States government by seizing the two federal forts at the Gulf Coast (forts Morgan and Gaines) and the arsenal at Mount Vernon in January 1861 to distribute weapons to Alabama towns.

Kentucky was a southern border state of key importance in the American Civil War. It officially declared its neutrality at the beginning of the war, but after a failed attempt by Confederate General Leonidas Polk to take the state of Kentucky for the Confederacy, the legislature petitioned the Union Army for assistance.

Semmes:
quote:
During the American Civil War, Semmes was captain of the cruiser CSS Alabama, the most successful commerce raider in maritime history, taking 65 prizes. Late in the war, he was promoted to rear admiral and also acted briefly as a brigadier general in the Confederate States Army. His appointment or arrangement to act as a temporary brigadier general from April 5 to April 26, 1865, was never submitted to or officially confirmed by the Confederate Senate.

When I lived in Louisiana anything north of I-10 was Yankee. When I moved to Illinois, anything south of I-80 is hillbilly.

Cincinnati is way more southern than folks give it credit for. Even the rest of Ohio considers it part of the south that got lost on the wrong side of the river. Cinci-tucky is a common nickname from Dayton northward.

Raphael Semmes is the best you can do? Lol.
My mother's family has been in KY since 1783 and she grew up in a town with 18 plantation houses surrounding it. We still own my CONFEDERATE officer gg grandfathers house. So I didn't appreciate you or anyone else calling Kentucky a Yankee state.

Your either a bleeding-heart Liberal, homo or a gang banger if you don't support Texas.
