The year is 1861, the date May 20.  The American Civil War has been underway for a little over a month.  In Norfolk, Virginia union and confederate forces have just fought to a draw at the Battle of Sewell’s Point.  At this stage both sides of the war are busy trying to sway undecided border states, and of those states Kentucky is undoubtedly one of the most important.  Abraham Lincoln, a native Kentuckian himself declared, “I hope to have God on my side, but I must have Kentucky.”  Kentucky for it’s part... didn’t really know what to do.
