I have had the pleasure of teaching Maiyuki Druen for three years; as an 8th grader in Advanced Geometry, as a sophomore in Math 174 Dual Credit Pre-Calculus through Morehead State University, and currently as a junior in AP Calculus.

It goes in depth on how during the Reconstruction, the republican party essentially ruined the South for twelve years by instituting puppet governments that constantly raised taxes but provided very few public benefits (7).

Southerners trusted that state laws conveyed more weight than Federal laws, and where there was a contention, they ought to maintain state controls first.

The “Bluegrass State” stands as one of the most recognizable state monikers across the country, “Blue Moon of Kentucky” is a famous waltz recorded by both Bluegrass musical creator Bill Monroe (as well as the king of rock Elvis Presley), and chants of “Go Big Blue!!” echo across the state from those that support the University of Kentucky’s athletic programs.
