Kentucky is red on that map, boy. Kentucky was a union state during the civil war, boss.

"Kentucky was a union state during the civil war, boss."Kentucky was also a slave state.

Erasing history because it offends you is a 7th century mentality no matter who is doing it.

On April 15, 1861, President Abraham Lincoln sent a telegram to Kentucky governor Beriah Magoffin requesting that the Commonwealth supply part of the initial 75,000 troops to put down the rebellion. Magoffin, a Southern sympathizer, replied "President Lincoln, Washington, D.C. I will send not a man nor a dollar for the wicked purpose of subduing my sister Southern states. B. Magoffin" Instead, most Kentuckians favored John J. Crittenden's position that the Commonwealth should act as a mediator between the two sides. To that end, both houses of the General Assembly passed declarations of neutrality, a position officially declared by Governor Magoffin on May 20, 1861.

Magoffin advocated neutrality but chose alliance to the union when the confederates invaded in the fall of 1861.

Kentucky was also a slave state. So where Missouri, Delaware, and Maryland. What's your point?

Said neutrality being broken by Leonidas Polk's invasion and occupation of Columbus on September 3rd, driving Kentucky back into the Union fold.
