As the US Civil War unfolded, the slave holding state of Kentucky did not join the Confederacy, but declared itself neutral. For the most part, US President Lincoln was "OK" with that. He feared any change in the status quo, and Kentucky remained a "border state" populated with a sizable number of Confederate sympathizers. The South did not respect Kentucky's neutrality and as a result there were a small number of important battles there. There was also Confederate guerrilla activity in Kentucky. On an opinion based answer, the following battles may be considered large enough to mention. The battles in the Blue Grass state were at Mill Springs, Richmond, Munfordsville, Paducah and Cynthiana.
