A map of the Confederate States of America shows Kentucky among the states that seceded from the Union prior to the American Civil War.

Artist George Kirchner of Brentwood, Tenn., says he drew the map and based it on acts of the Kentucky Confederate Legislature and Congress of the Confederate States of America. Under those criteria, he also lists Missouri and the Arizona territory as also parts of the Confederacy.
