What were the views of President Lincoln on Kentucky early in the US Civil War?
ChuckSiata
President Lincoln believed the lack of Union restraint in Missouri, especially the actions by General Fremont contributed to the civil war in that state. Lincoln planned on a policy of restraint for Kentucky. The slave border state had declared itself "neutral". He refused to concede Kentucky's so-called neutrality but he agreed for the time to not interfere in their policy.
