    We had that in the first one…

    Kentucky fought for both sides. A family could even split with brothers going to each side, and possibly both making it back.

    That’s what the whole Hatfield’s and Mcoys shit was. Was side was union, one confederate. One side was made about a member that died in war, and killed a member of the other.

    They were the most famous feud, but all over Kentucky the civil war kept playing out for years after it ended.

    The resulting exodus to escape the violence is why you see rebel flags still in Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota and other northern states.
