Early in 1861, Kentucky voted to remain neutral, but formally declared allegiance to the Union in September of 1861 after an invasion by Confederate forces. They occupied the area south and west of the Green River. On December 9th 1861, the Confederate Congress voted to accept Kentucky into the Confederacy as the 13th State. The Confederate forces remained until late February 1862.
