Civil War Battles in Kentucky

Recently I had to do a research paper for a U.S. Southern History class at BYU. Because I have been researching my Rice family in Magoffin, Kentucky, I decided to look at the effect of the Civil War on the economy of Magoffin, Kentucky. I learned that there were about 400 fights or battles in Kentucky during the Civil War, but only a few of them were major battles. Although Kentucky sided with the Union, there were still a number of people in the state who chose to side with the Confederacy.
