The American Bill of Rights is
ratified, much to the consternation of both its supporters and its
detractors. Although a Bill of Rights was immensely popular with most
Americans, the idea had become a political pawn used by those who wanted to
see the newly proposed Constitution revised to limit federal authority to tax
and control trade. Knowing they did not have much chance to block the
Constitution’s adoption by the states based on their platform of "less
government", they instead called the Constitution inadequate because of
its lack of protection for citizen's rights. In the end, many states voted
for adopting the Constitution but with a recommendation that a Bill of Rights
be added.

Kentucky becomes the 15th
State. Prior to becoming a state, Kentucky
was part of Virginia.
The great distance between Kentucky and the
eastern seaboard and continuing fears of attacks by Native Americans
encouraged Kentuckians to feel that Virginia
was not sufficiently attentive to the needs of the West. In the end, slavery
proved to be the most deeply divisive issue. Slavery was legal in Kentucky so long as it remained governed by the laws of
Virginia,
but anti-slavery activists like Presbyterian clergyman David Rice argued that
it should not be retained in a new state. Pressing just as adamantly for
maintaining slavery were powerful figures such as George Nicholas and John
Breckinridge. The forces of slavery won the constitutional contest, with
results that would leave Kentucky
divided.
