History section, subsection Civil rights era: B52 bomber crash

[edit]

The nuclear plane crash is a punchy news item, but I question whether it belongs in a concise and scholarly general history article. It might be more comfortably moved to an article on plane crashes or nuclear accidents. That it happened in Kentucky is not terribly relevant. Sbalfour (talk) 19:24, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest article Nuclear and radiation accidents and incidents subsection 1950's. Sbalfour (talk) 19:46, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Civil War summary needs some rewriting

[edit]

It doesn't seem like our summary here reflects Kentucky in the American Civil War very well, particularly where it suggests Kentucky was neutral throughout the war (the state invited Union assistance and Louisville was a Union stronghold), and puts extra weight into modern celebrations related to the Confederacy.
