As Protesters Target Confederate Statue, Armed Citizens Form 'Battle Line' in Front of the Memorial

Proclaiming themselves to be a “battle line,” a crowd gathered in Kentucky on Friday and Saturday to guard a monument to Confederate soldiers against potential attacks by Black Lives Matter protesters.

Good for them.

Interesting to note that this monument to Confederate soldiers is in a state that was not part of the Confederacy.

The state didn’t join the confederacy but a large portion of its population fought for the confederacy and the union. A quick Wikipedia search comes up with this quote 

“35,000 Kentuckians served as Confederate soldiers; an estimated 125,000 Kentuckians served as Union soldiers.[font=-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont,][2]“[/font]

Not really so strange they might have confederate statues with such a large portion of the state did in fact defect.

I imagine they probably have union statues as well?
