What pressures did President Lincoln deal with in Kentucky early in the US Civil War?
ChuckSiata
President Lincoln knew that slave state Kentucky would be a target for the Confederates. Major General George B. McClellan was in charge of the Department of Ohio. He had been given orders to capture Columbus, Kentucky if he believed it was a necessity because of Confederate threats. McClellan was advised by pro-Unionists in Kentucky that any Union military action in that state, it would drive Kentucky into the Confederacy. He therefore took no military actions in Kentucky.
