Kentucky was a border state during the Civil War. Its legislators preferred neutrality at the beginning of the war, since it had strong ties to both sides. In the 1861 election, most of the state congressional seats went to Union sympathizers. In September 1861, a Confederate army went into Kentucky, thus breaking its neutrality, and a Union army followed. During the war, many battles and guerilla campaigns were fought in Kentucky. Kentucky soldiers served in both the Union and Confederate armies.<ref name="wikipedia">Wikipedia.com, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kentucky_in_the_American_Civil_War Kentucky in the American Civil War], (accessed 9 March 2011)</ref> | Kentucky was a border state during the Civil War.
