Fun Facts For The State of Kentucky

Kentucky, constituent state of the United States of America. Rivers define Kentucky’s boundaries except on the south, where it shares a border with Tennessee along a nearly straight line of about 425 miles (685 km), and on the southeast, where it shares an irregular, mountainous border with Virginia. Flowing generally northwestward, the Tug and Big Sandy rivers separate Kentucky from West Virginia on the east and northeast. On the north, Kentucky’s boundary follows the Ohio River to the Mississippi, meeting the states of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois en route. The Mississippi River then demarcates Kentucky’s short southwestern border with Missouri. The capital, Frankfort, lies between the two major cities—Louisville, which is on the Ohio River, and Lexington.

Kentucky enjoys a temperate climate and generally plentiful rainfall. The state’s mean annual temperature is between 55 and 60 °F (13 and 16 °C). However, extremes of temperature exceeding 110 °F (43 °C) and dropping below –30 °F (–34 °C) have been recorded occasionally. In the capital city, average high temperatures in January and February are in the low 40s F (about 6 °C), and average low temperatures are in the low 20s F (about –5 °C); in July and August temperatures usually rise from the low 60s F (about 17 °C) into the mid-80s F (about 30 °C) daily. The yearly growing season lasts about 170 to 210 days, depending on location. Mean annual precipitation is about 45 inches (1,140 mm).

The vast majority of Kentucky’s population is of white European ancestry. Most of the early white settlers of the state were of English or Scotch-Irish descent and came from North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. The migrations of Daniel Boone—founder of one of the first permanent white settlements in present-day Kentucky—resembled those of many of his countrymen.

Kentucky’s economy—based on manufacturing, trade, mining, agriculture, and tourism and other services—varies by region. The Bluegrass is an affluent region with a large number of manufacturers and numerous amenities. The Pennyrile is likewise diversified and prosperous, but economic conditions in the Western Coalfield and the Mountain regions fluctuate with the demand for coal. The Purchase relies extensively on agriculture, and periods of drought or depressed crop prices sometimes bring hardship to the region. Although manufacturing is the greatest income producer for the state, eastern Kentucky has little manufacturing activity, and a few other areas have none at all.

Famous Peoples From Kentucky

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) was an American statesman and lawyer who served as the 16th president of the United States from 1861 until his assassination in 1865. Lincoln led the nation through the American Civil War, the country's greatest moral, constitutional, and political crisis. He succeeded in preserving the Union, abolishing slavery, bolstering the federal government, and modernizing the U.S. economy.

Lincoln was born into poverty in a log cabin and was raised on the frontier primarily in Indiana. He was self-educated and became a lawyer, Whig Party leader, Illinois state legislator, and U.S. Congressman from Illinois. In 1849, he returned to his law practice but became vexed by the opening of additional lands to slavery as a result of the Kansas–Nebraska Act. He reentered politics in 1854, becoming a leader in the new Republican Party, and he reached a national audience in the 1858 debates against Stephen Douglas. Lincoln ran for President in 1860, sweeping the North in victory. Pro-slavery elements in the South equated his success with the North's rejection of their right to practice slavery, and southern states began seceding from the union. To secure its independence, the new Confederate States fired on Fort Sumter, a U.S. fort in the South, and Lincoln called up forces to suppress the rebellion and restore the Union.

As the leader of moderate Republicans, Lincoln had to navigate a contentious array of factions with friends and opponents on both sides. War Democrats rallied a large faction of former opponents into his moderate camp, but they were countered by Radical Republicans, who demanded harsh treatment of the Southern Confederates. Anti-war Democrats (called "Copperheads") despised him, and irreconcilable pro-Confederate elements plotted his assassination. Lincoln managed the factions by exploiting their mutual enmity, by carefully distributing political patronage, and by appealing to the U.S. people. His Gettysburg Address became a historic clarion call for nationalism, republicanism, equal rights, liberty, and democracy. Lincoln scrutinized the strategy and tactics in the war effort, including the selection of generals and the naval blockade of the South's trade. He suspended habeas corpus, and he averted British intervention by defusing the Trent Affair. He engineered the end to slavery with his Emancipation Proclamation and his order that the Army protect and recruit former slaves. He also encouraged border states to outlaw slavery, and promoted the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which outlawed slavery across the country.
