Kentucky is south of the Mason-Dixon. That line is the border of Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Delaware (which does not count for the purposes of our discussion. It is more a demarcation of Northern States of the time vs the Southern states. This is why Maryland was actually a 'Southern state' even though it has closer ties to the North. This also made D.C. very vulnerable during the war due to the high concentration of Southern sympathizers in the state.
