I had always believed that Kentucky was neutral in the Civil War. Both Lincoln and Jefferson Davis (President of the Confederate States) were born in Kentucky.

Reading the wikipedia article[0], it seems like it's really complicated but it still looks mostly correct to me that Kentucky was more neutral than not.
