Young Abraham Lincoln and his family joined the migration within the Ohio River, but it was Kentucky - the condition of his labor and birth - that shaped his personality and persisted to affect his life. His better half was from the commonwealth, as were each one of the other women with whom he previously romantic connections. Henry Clay was his political idol; Joshua Acceleration of Farmington, near Louisville, was his lifelong best ally; and everything three of his law partners were Kentuckians. Through the Civil Battle, Lincoln is reputed to get said, "I hope to get God on my area, but I have to have Kentucky." He identified Kentucky's importance as the bellwether of the four devoted slave areas and accepted the commonwealth's illegal neutrality until Unionists secured firm control of the state. Lowell Harrison stresses this skill and delicacy with which Lincoln handled the problems of an loyal slave condition populated by a huge quantity of Confederate sympathizers. It was not until years later that Kentuckians totally identified Lincoln's greatness and paid homage with their native son.
