Civil War AHC: Virginia remains loyal, Kentucky goes Confederate

With any pre-Civil War PoD, find a way to have Virginia remain loyal and Kentucky become a Confederate state during the American Civil War.
 
Not possible, given that Kentuckians were in no way, shape or form as tied to the use of slavery the way Virginia or the Deep South were since there's even BEEN any kind of *Kentucky. You'd have an easier time making a New York City secession concept around the Civil War, since at least there was some notion of Southron sympathy amongst some quarters (the Copperhead Democrats).
