Murray, KY – We continue our look at what was happening in Kentucky 150 years ago as the nation descended into disunion. Here's today's Kentucky Civil War Dispatch.
The time of decision for the Commonwealth approaches and, with the secession of five southern states, southern sympathizers in the General Assembly up the ante by advocating a "Sovereignty Convention." Which way will the Bluegrass go?
WKMS produces Kentucky Civil War Dispatches from West Kentucky Community and Technical College history professor Berry Craig. Craig is also the author of Hidden History of Kentucky in the Civil War and True Tales of Old-Time Kentucky Politics: Bombast, Bourbon and Burgoo.
