Kentucky, the whitest southern state, is also the most old stock state in the entire Jewnion - The vast majority of the whites here are direct descendants of the original British pioneers who settled the continent.
We have more of a claim, by blood, to self determination and independence than most other people on the continent. Kentuckians are their own group of people, especially when compared to Americans.
Most are 100% ethnically 🇬🇧 and descend from families which have been here for 300-400 years.
