Kentucky never seceded from the Union. But.

Interesting tidbit about Kentucky and the Civil War. Not that this would be common knowledge, but it was an interesting look at how perception changed for the people in those States after the war:

"Kentucky never seceded. They did send 35,000 troops to the Confederacy and 90,000 to the U.S." Loewen said. "Today Kentucky has 74 Civil War monuments. Two are for the U.S. and 72 are for the Confederacy."
