Kentucky did not officially secede from the Union during the Civil War, although it declared neutrality at the outset. The state was divided in its loyalties, with both Union and Confederate sympathizers. Ultimately, the Confederate government recognized Kentucky as a Confederate state in 1861, but this was not sanctioned by the U.S. government, and Kentucky remained in the Union throughout the war. The complexities of its internal divisions and the strategic importance of the state contributed to its unique position.
