Kentucky was a 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. After early 1862 Kentucky came largely under Union control. In the historiography of the Civil War, Kentucky is treated primarily as a border state, with special attention to the social divisions during the secession crisis, invasions and raids, internal violence, sporadic guerrilla warfare, federal-state relations, the ending of slavery, and the return of Confederate veterans.

  • Le Kentucky est un État-frontière d'une importance clé dans la guerre de Sécession. Le président Abraham Lincoln reconnaît l'importance du commonwealth quand, dans une lettre de septembre 1861 à Orville Browning, , il écrit : « Je pense que perdre le Kentucky est pratiquement comme perdre le jeu dans son ensemble. Le Kentucky perdu, nous ne pouvons pas tenir, ni le Missouri, ni le Maryland. Tous ceux-ci contre nous, et le travail entre nos mains est trop grand pour nous. Nous pourrions tout aussi bien consentir à la séparation, y compris la reddition de ce capitole. » (fr)
