During the Civil War Logan County played a very important role in the pro-Confederate movement in Kentucky, even housing multiple meetings and a convention with the goal of Kentucky joining the Confederacy. While this did not happen, this movement continued in the years that followed the war, as a massive Confederate hangover reigned over the county. This hangover, which can be associated with the “lost cause” dominated the way of …

Beyond Boundaries: Women In Border States During The American Civil War, Carly A. Jensen
Beyond Boundaries: Women In Border States During The American Civil War, Carly A. Jensen
The Gettysburg College Journal of the Civil War Era
From 1861-1865, the previously United States was torn apart by the Civil War. While many Southern states succeeded and joined the Confederate cause, five slave-holding states remained part of the Union. Women across the nation found their lives upended by the conflict, but those living in border states faced particular strife as neighbors turned against each other because of political ideology.

However, these women remained strong, demonstrating their enduring morale. This paper examines personal correspondence from women …
