e people were loyal to the Union, but the governor was not, and the unfortunate position of neutrality which the latter, with the Confederates, caused Kentucky to assume brought upon her the miseries of civil war. Steps were taken for the secession of the State, and for the organization of a Confederate State government, but failed.
The State was scarred by battles, invasions, and raids, and martial law was proclaimed by President Lincoln, July 5, 1864.
The civil authority was restored Oct. 18, 1865.
The legislature refused to ratify the Fifteenth Amendment.
