Hey, first thread I've made here. I am wondering about the plausibility during the American Civil War that something like Braxton Bragg's Kentucky campaign could have resulted in the Confederacy controlling parts of Kentucky for at least a couple of years, even if they fail to decisely defeat Union forces.
This is part of me trying to formulate what a relatively "believable" aftermath of a CSA victory would be, and the South controlling parts of Kentucky could be a bargaining chip to exchange for Confederate state territory occupied by the Union early in the war, in a hypothetical peace deal.
