What did the Confederates fight for?
The defense of their country (the Confederate States of America). They removed themselves from the United States because they were being severely taxed with very little representation in the house and felt that their rights were being infringed upon. After bickering within a northern controled congress for several years, they decided they could not find an acceptable solution and still remain in the Union. They removed themselves from the United States in 1861, and retained national sovereignty for about 3 years until they were finally worn down by invading US troops.

Was Kentucky a union or a confedrate state?
Kentucky was a border state which means it didn't know what side to be on. Other border states were Montana, West Virgina, Delaware, and Maryland.
Kentucky never seceded from the Union so it would be classified as a Union state, however it was one of the border states (along with Maryland and Missouri). The border states were slave states and had competing Union and Confederate governments. While 75,000 men (including 23,000 African Americans) served in the Union army, a significant number of Kentuckians went south, primarily with the "Orphan Brigade".

How did Kentucky become a state in 1860?
a state, however the date is accurate. It was adopted to the United States on 6/1/1792 as a state and later changed into being a Commonwealth, like Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Virginia. It is commonly referred to as a state in generic terminology. However consider the fact that it was admitted to the Union in 1792 as a State. It was the 1850 Constitution that made Kentucky a Commonwealth, and it had already been "a state of the Union" for 58 years when it declared itself to be not a state but a Commonwealth.
It may simply be a matter of semantics, should a US State like California change it's Constitution and declare itself the Ashram of California or the California Commune it would be and remain a US State. Pennsylvania, Massachussetts and Virginia have a legitimate claim to the the title of Commonwealth. Kentucky is more like Constantiople becoming Istanbul or New Amsterdam becoming New York City.

What is the penalty for harassment with physical contact in the state of Kentucky?
Your elaborations on the question have been moved to the discussion section.
You have not filed charges. You have filed a civil complaint for a protective order, and may have made a report to the police. Private individuals are not permitted to file criminal charges. Only the state, through the prosecuting attorney, can do this. If you have made a report to the police, you would need to follow up with the police to find out if the case has been referred to the local prosecutor. You would also want to follow up with the criminal prosecutor to determine if/when they will file criminal charges.
If the prosecutor does opt to file criminal charges, and if the defendant is convicted, the punishment would be determined by the judge.

Contrary to popular belief, simply becoming a parent does not make a person emancipated.

Is a 17-year-old living in Maryland considered an adult if she has a child?
The state's legal age is 18, a pregnant minor or minor who already has a child is not considered emancipated. If the parents of the minor do not object to her moving in with the father of her child it is not likely that authorities would take any action against the adult male unless unusual circumstances applied. Although the state does not recognize common law marriage, it does recognize the intent of a couple living together to become marryied. Because the state allows minors who are pregnant or have a child to marry without parental consent, cohabitation of a minor female older than 16 with an adult is rarely challenged as long as the couple are self-supporting, and there are no mitigating circumstances.
How does a convicted felon get gun rights back in Kentucky?
The procedures can differ from state-to-state but below is a basic general outline of what you need to know.
IF the option exists in your state (you will have to do your own research to learn if these exceptions apply to your state) you must petition the state for restoration.
FELONS CONVICTED IN STATE COURT OF STATE CRIMES: you will remain subject to whatever restrictions your state and federal laws place on you (e.g.- voting rights - elective office - firearms/ammunition possession - etc). UNLESS - you are a resident of a state which restores your "privileges"
FEDERALLY CONVICTED FELONS: If you were convicted in FEDERAL Court of a FEDERAL FELONY regardless of what your state may do, it will not matter. It is a felony offense for any federally convicted felon to ever own or possess a firearm (including some black powder arms). The U.S. Criminal Code, makes the penalty for the illegal possession of a firearm (including non-antique black powder weapons) a mandatory minimum of fifteen (15) years in prison, in some cases (Title 18 U.S.C. sec 924(e)(1). At this time FEDERALLY convicted felons have no solution to their firearm disqualification. Congress has continually denied funds this purpose, thereby effectively eliminating the review of federal felons' petitions for restoration of their firearms privileges.
CAUTION: If your state does grant you restoration it is NOT universal! It will exist INSIDE your state borders only.
Resoration by your own state is not legally binding on any other state and possession of a firearm outside the borders of your state can result in your arrest and prosecution by the other state.

Can a couple from out of state marry in Georgia?
If a person meets all the legal requirements for the state they choose to be maried they are legally married in all other states. However, if a person does not legally marry according to the laws of the state in which the marriage occurs, the marriage is not legally valid in any state. If a minor(s) believe they can get married in a different state than the one in which they live to avoid problems (such as parental opposition) the marriage will not be allowed. Also, if fraudulent documents are used to circumvent state laws a marriage will not be legally valid.

Can a 16-year-old legally move out in Kentucky?
This is not legal advice and should not be relied upon as such. Consult the specific laws for the state and county in which you reside for the rules that apply. In most states, any 18 year old is considered an adult and is capable of deciding when and where they reside. They have the ability to contract for housing. SOME states allow minors to become emancipated under specific circumstances, but this is not just a matter of filling out some paperwork. A minor is the responsibility of their parents until such time as they reach the age of majority or are legally emancipated. The parents are required to provide for the support of their minor children. If the parents give permission, the minor can live in another location. Such permission does not relieve the parents of the responsibility to provide support. If the parents do not give permission, the minor can be considered a runaway. Charges may apply to individuals that aid and abet such runaways, particularly if they are under the age of consent. In some states it is my understanding that this is not enforced for 17 year olds that leave home. If you are subject to abuse, you should contact social services for your area. They will assist you in getting out of the bad environment and into a safe place.
