The correct answer is A) Confederate forces invaded Kentucky

Explanation:

Since the beginning of the American Civil War, the commonwealth of Kentucky wanted to remain neutral in the conflict.  For some time it stayed out of the conflict saving it the death and destruction that came with the war.

However, things changed when General Leonidas Polk  from the Confederate army unsuccessfully tried to invade Kentucky. Once the attack was repelled, the governor of Kentucky asked the Union army for help.

This was welcomed by President Lincoln as he believed Kentucky to be very important if the Union was to be maintained.

answer: secession

secession, as it applies to the outbreak of the american civil war, comprises the series of events that began on december 20, 1860, and extended through june 8 of the next year when eleven states in the lower and upper south severed their ties with the union. the first seven seceding states of the lower south set up a provisional government at montgomery, alabama. after hostilities began at fort sumter in charleston harbor on april 12, 1861, the border states of virginia, arkansas, tennessee, and north carolina joined the new government, which then moved its capital to richmond, virginia. the union was thus divided approximately on geographic lines. twenty-one northern and border states retained the style and title of the united states, while the eleven slave states adopted the nomenclature of the confederate states of america.
