Chase, with all due respect, where were you educated? If you go to the Missouri board, especially, they are still fighting the war! There were probably about as many Union troops from Kentucky as Confederate. That is the nature of a border state; it was torn about which side to take. When posters ask about different units, they specify which side they were on. Mary Todd Lincoln had two brothers in the Confederate Army. Remember that Lincoln and Davis were born about 12 miles apart, in Kentucky. There was a regiment or batallion in Georgia, of all places, that fought for the union. They were used to guard the Western and Atlantic railroad north of Atlanta, late in the war. In the hills along the Georgia-Tennessee border irregular troops, deserters, and plain old stubborn mountaineers fought tooth and nail , or watched each other like hawks, to keep from fighting each other. This all can be found on a number of sites. I've noticed that when you hear something you did not know, or don't agree with, you cite some obscure poetry. (I know it's not all obscure, and I do not mean anything untoward; this is just an observation.) Stan
