'Kentucky Neutrality in 1861' explores the crucial period at the outset of the American Civil War when the state of Kentucky attempted to remain neutral. This paper, read before the Ohio Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, delves into the political maneuvering and complex local dynamics that influenced Kentucky’s initial decision to abstain from joining either the Union or the Confederacy. Benjamin Franklin Stevenson provides valuable insights into the challenges and considerations faced by Kentucky’s leaders as they navigated the escalating conflict. The work sheds light on the state’s strategic importance and the internal divisions that ultimately led to its involvement in the war, making it an essential read for anyone interested in the Civil War or the history of Kentucky.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
