The fact that Jeff Davis & Abe Lincoln were both Kentucky natives.. always reminds me how complicated, nuanced, & tragic the Civil War was..
It wasn’t complicated. The confederates wanted slaves and were willing to murder thousands to keep it.
@@fightme8859 What about the Union soldiers and leaders from slave-holding Union states (MD DE KY). They wanted to keep their slaves (Delaware even rejected Lincoln's offer of compensated emancipation), but were fighting in the Union Army. How does that reality fit into your simplistic, unnuanced (good guy-bad guy) perception of the Civil War (?) peace
@@GeorgeWashingtonX The fact of the matter is they were not fighting for that. They were involuntarily fighting for the better side.
@@fightme8859 like how Stalin while killing 40 million of his own was fighting for the allied powers? You sound dumb, think harder and educate yourself.
Yea its crazy how many families have relatives on both sides in KY
my 4th gr grandmother's brother was the 2nd Confederate Governor of KY, Richard Hawes. The 1st (George Johnson) was killed at the battle of Shiloh.
I'm from Kentucky

The Frankfort legislature claimed neutrality out of fear. Lincoln threw the entire Maryland legislature in jail with no charge and Kentuckians feared the same. That’s why the Confederate government was established in the southern half and Bowling Green was named the capital. The Confederate flag has 13 stars for a reason, Missouri and Kentucky were formally accepted into the CSA
Many northern states never teach about Kentucky’s confederate side. People who are bias to the union always like to claim ky as firm union state. It’s not the case. It was arguably as much a rebel state as a union one.
@@thewitheredassassin3412 A mixed bag -- just like Missouri, Maryland and other states.
Lincoln didn't arrest the entire Maryland legislature. Maryland decided a vote for secession required a 2/3rds vote. So Lincoln arrested a little over a 3rd making it impossible for Maryland to have enough votes to secede.
@thewitheredassassin3412 Kentucky is pretty much always defined as a border state. 2/3s Union vs 1/3 Confederate support by troop enlistment. The nuance is there for anyone willing to read.
My Great Grandpa Robert Edward Carver lost an arm at the elbow at the Battle of Nashville on 13 Oct 1864. He was Company C 179th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He was from Garrison, Lewis Co, Ky but joined just across the river at Portsmouth, Ohio.

Will Robert E Lee you from Virginia.
my great grandmother had one brother fight for the north and one for the south
Kentucky seceded from the union on December 10th 1861, guess they forgot that little tid bit
Very informative, thank you.
Do Missouri next please :-)
My 4x-Great-grandfather was a Sergeant in the 24th Regiment for the Union, Kentucky Volunteers along with his sons. They were from Bath County. Sgt. Thomas Kerrick.
There's nothing to check out. Kentucky is a Southern state and that's the bottom line👍
My Mother’s side had family on both sides of the war.
On December 10th 1861 Kentucky joined the csa
You totally left out the confederate capital city of Kentucky and all kinds of stuff...
Ikr
🤣
The Confederate government of Kentucky was mostly irrelevant throughout the war though.
Can you do Minnesota in the Civil War next?
Who know
Each day goes by historic markers and monuments are being removed, renamed, put in storage or melted down entirely. What is the point of being preservationist when at this rate there isn't going to be anything left to preserve?
❤ GOD BLESS DIXIE ❤️ FROM WESTERN KENTUCKY
@0:39 i want some history on that mans neck tie. why is it so short. what was the development of tie fashion...
iwas born in christan county kentucky not far from birthplace of jeff davis
I was born in Fayette County :)
So is Kentucky southern or union.?
Both. It was a southern slave state in which its official capital sides with the union. A confederate government was formed and it seceded from the Union on December 10, 1861. It was the 13th state of the confederacy. More soldiers fought for the Union, though a large amount of confederate volunteers fought for the CSA.
Who is the Bob the hatman?
Name of the song pls
@@marcuswoodward7274 thank you:)
What about Illinois or Indiana
I thought that Kentucky was a confederate state
Split or undecided
the confederacy claimed kentucky but kentucky never picked sides up until the confederacy invaded kentucky in which it joined the union
Its government was confederate so it was closer to the confederacy
@@braylonthomas8068 WRONG! try READING the history FIRST before making such assertions.
@@jephrokimbo9050 You sound like a angry redditor. Cry about it.
Long live Jefferson Davis!
haha loser
Lincoln Said 'Game' us Southerners didn't look at it as a Game. That's why he got SHOT,LOL!!!! Now he's looking up.
Young girl needs to study the facts a little more.
