Best Answer

The Civil War for Kentucky was truly a civil war with brother against brother. The state itself, remained with the Union. A group of counties bordering Tennessee pulled out of Kentucky, declared Bowling Green the new capitol, and joined the confederacy. Some men from all over Kentucky joined Confederate units but more joined Union units.

The Confederates used the guano from the caves in southern Kentucky to make gunpowder.

When General Grant captured Nashville, Tennessee, he effectively removed Kentucky from the war.
