This speaks volumes of the woeful public education system in regards to American history. Kentucky was not one of the 11 Confederate States.

You are similarly mistaken in your own history. While Kentucky was not officially in the confederacy, it's sympathies in the war were split right down the middle and both sides controlled various parts of the state during the war. Kentucky's legislature officially declared itself neutral in the fight but the state sent thousands of soldiers into both armies.
