I've thought about this for some time, did Kentucky's indecisivness end up being a death knell the CSA?
In 1860 John C. Breckinridge was the pro slavery candidate of choice. He was a native of Kentucky, I don't recall him pushing the state to go with the South, why? Weren't there alot of resources there? Horses, grain, livestock, no?
When I think about states like Delaware and Maryland, there is less sense in them seceding then Kentucky. Maryland and Delwares proximity to Washington makes secession hard to conceive, but a state like KY actually makes more sense due to it being slightly more cut off from the North and the capital.
So what do you think? Discuss.
