Most of those who settled in Kentucky were English, German, Irish, Scots, Scots-Irish, and Swiss. African Americans also number among the state's larges...

Davis attended Transylvania University in Lexington, where President Lincoln's wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, was reared; and her brother fought for the South. In Kentucky it was common for members of a family to split on the question of secession, with one or t...
