Good catch, Igor.
Kentucky declared neutrality, and didn't join in with Union forces
during the war.

Walter,
I may have misunderstood you, but what happened with KY on June 1, 1792?
Probably you are talking about _re_joining...
Since KY never seceded, it didn't have to (re-!)join.
Am I missing something?

This sort of reminds me of the ongoing dispute here in the US
between Kentucky and Illinois. Abraham Lincoln was born in Kentucky,

Oddly enough, Kentucky was also the birthplace of the president of the
Confederacy, Jefferson Davis, during the Civil War, and never officially
seceded from, nor joined, the Union. Thus concludes today's "Moment of
Pedantry" -- with your host, Walt Gilbert.
