Confederate Kentucky? Civil War Legacy in a Border State

STATE OF AFFAIRS 11/15/10: Most of us learned in grade school that Kentucky was a border state during the Civil War, but border doesn't necessarily mean neutral. The Commonwealth often seems to have an identity crisis - are we part of the south?

On Monday we'll talk to historians about Kentucky's Confederate identity.
