Kentucky is considered a southern state, though it is in the transition zone between North and South, and elements of both are well-represented in the state. The Ohio River makes a good boundary for many people, plus some areas on the other side of it have many Southern characteristics (especially far Southern Illinois and Indiana). Traditional and modern ties, including political and social organizations, sporting rivalries, etc.) mark Kentucky as more Southern than Northern.
