This has been a question I've even stated before and became quite and arguement point on the other threads.
As Snake Featherston said, the CSA is able to pull off a Super-Perryville and the Army of Ohio has turned tail to Louisville in October 1862.
By the end of 1862 around 3/4 of Kentucky and 2/3 of Tennessee is in Confederate hands.
Kentucky is ruled as "spoils of war" in the peace treaty and becomes an official CS state.
Now, Kentucky was a heavily divided state in OTL's Civil War, most of Western Kentucky and Southern Kentucky was pro Confederate. The Bluegrass region of the state resembled Middle Tennessee in terms of politics (Middle TN went on to be strongly Confederate), there were Unionist and Secessionist counties in the region. Eastern Kentucky remained largely Unionist while hamlets of secessionist pro-Confederate counties were sprinkled in the region.
Now that Kentucky is in the Confederate States of America, how do some of the more Unionist locals and Confederate population in the state deal with each other?
It should be noted that after the Civil War in OTL much of East KY broke out in nasty blood feuds based on whether what side some families were on in the War, the Hatfield-McCoy feud is the most notorious of them with Unionist McCoys and Confederate Guerilla Hatfields.
