So then you confirm that:

1, Magoffin was the legitimate authority in Kentucky and that:

2, Magoffin condemned the invasion of Kentucky by the union.

Thank you. That’s what I was after. Again - Kentucky was not union territory at the start of the war.

I know it's probably foolish, given your history on this thread of making statements and then refusing to back them up with any sort of evidence than an insistence that we accept your say-so, but perhaps you could give some sort of link to the date on which this secession took place.

Have you been staring straight into the sun again?

Yes, Magoffin was governor. Magoffin scolded BOTH sides for violating Kentucky’s neutrality. And even though he was a southern sympathizer, they means exactly squat in terms of the affiliation of the state - unless you are as lawless as the confeds were.

Then why were there senators and congressmen from Kentucky holding office in Washington DC and voting as part of the US government?
