Kentucky was border state in Civil War, and hoped to be neutral Comments on Civil War display at Lindsey Wilson College By Vonnie Kolbenschlag The display at Lindsey Wilson College's Library, 235 Holloway Drive, gives a concise overview of Kentucky's part in the Civil War. However it does not say that Kentucky was a NEUTRAL state! Kentucky was a border state, and at the beginning many hoped it could be neutral, but this was not to be. Very early Union camps were established to recruit soldiers. The first panel states: Kentucky tried to remain neutral, but finally sent 90,000 soldiers to fight for the Union. It also states that up to 40,000 also fought for the Confederacy (and left the state, some of those joined the Confederate Orphan Brigade - feeling as orphans from their "parent" Union state.) On the second panel it states: At the outbreak of the war, Kentucky had tried to remain neutral, yet failed in September 1861 following the election of Unionist to the state legislature . . . (The war began in 1861.). . . Kentucky remained in the Union for the remainder of the war . . . The third panel states that the Confederates left the state after an early battle . . . and left Kentucky firmly in Union hands. There were three Union camps in Adair County. -Vonnie Kolbenschlag This story was posted on 2012-02-16 21:40:30
