President Lincoln's issue was not with the Union soldiers, whose spirit and heroism he admired greatly, but rather with the lack of fighting spirit he found in Gen Winfield Scott and Gen George B McClellen, both of whom he relieved. Both generals preferred to gather supplies rather than fight, as opposed to McClellan's replacement, Gen Ulysses S. Grant, who coolly and methodically took the war to the Confederates.

How many battles were fought in Kentucky during the US Civil War?
As the US Civil War unfolded, the slave holding state of Kentucky did not join the Confederacy, but declared itself neutral. For the most part, US President Lincoln was "OK" with that. He feared any change in the status quo, and Kentucky remained a "border state" populated with a sizable number of Confederate sympathizers. The South did not respect Kentucky's neutrality and as a result there were a small number of important battles there. There was also Confederate guerrilla activity in Kentucky. On an opinion based answer, the following battles may be considered large enough to mention. The battles in the Blue Grass state were at Mill Springs, Richmond, Munfordsville, Paducah and Cynthiana.
