====== The War of 1812 ======
Making up two and a half regiments in the expanding regular army before the end of 1812, Kentuckians had an important part on the western front in the war of 1812. By the end of the war, approximately 25,705 Kentucky men had served as regulars, volunteers or militiamen. Of the 1,876 Americans killed during the war, about 1,200 were Kentuckians, even though the state had never suffered an invasion. ((Lowell H. Harrison and James C. Klotter, //A New History of Kentucky,// (Lexington: The University Press of Kentucky, 1997), 90-94.))

Local Historian Roberta Chumley describes General Andrew Jackson, who would become President, telling the Kentuckians to "Get on down to New Orleans as fast as you can even if you don't have enough rifles." ((Berry Craig, //Hidden History of Kentucky Soldiers,// (Charleston: The History Press, 2011), 33.)) When some Kentucky troops actually showed up without firearms on January 4,1815, Jackson purportedly exclaimed, "I have never seen a Kentuckian without a gun and a pack of cards and a bottle of whiskey in my life." ((Lowell H. Harrison and James C. Klotter, //A New History of Kentucky,// (Lexington: The University Press of Kentucky, 1997), 94.))
