January 1 1863 President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation goes into effect in the states in rebellion against the United States. This does not include Kentucky (Hee haa!)
November 8 1864 Presidential election results in Kentucky casting its electoral votes for George B. McClellan for President of the United States. In Kentucky, Lincoln gains 27,786 votes to McClellan's 64,301. Lincoln is re-elected for a second term. Kentucky and New Jersey are the only two states going for McClellan (Still stupid)
May 1865 As soon the 62nd Ohio Infantry, 9th Ohio Cavalry and the 9th Regiment Indiana Cavalry (121st Regiment Volunteers) and the 10th Infantry (Regiment Indiana 3 Years) of the Union army swept over the boarder the Kan-tuck-ians turned and rejoined the Union. (Hee hee dumb hicks we kicked your azz bunch of cowardice losers!!)

While you are checking all the Southern Regiments from Kentucky how about looking up the 14th Kentucky Infantry Volunteers. My Great Grandpa walked to Louisa to join up. They didn't do bad and how many Kentuckians have saved your rear if you have ever been in combat?? Check that black slab in D.C. and see how many men from KY, TN, WV are on it. I wish records were kept of the men who walked point in the '60 because they knew how to move thru the jungle and were darn good shots. You can wear your hides, play your games but the West was settled by men from VA thru Cumberland Gap or down the Ohio, up from NC. You can cross the river at Louisville and find a different breed but in the Hills of Eastern KY you wouldn't last a day playing Daniel Boone or Simon Kenton, you have heard of them? Oh, while you're on the Civil War look up what state Lincoln and Davis were both born in.:rolleyes:
