Best Answer

Kentucky was settled about like most other western states, the newly formed USA sent 1,200 men (Militia / Army) into the lands in 1786 with orders to kill all Indians, burn down any towns, camps, fields (Crops), or settlements they found. Once all the Indians were dead, they claimed the land and formed a state.
