A fact from History of slavery in Kentucky appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 13 June 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Untitled
Margaret Garner was a well-known fugitive slave, whose story was the inspiration for a 20th c. novel and 21st century opera. I believe she should be included here, although she was captured again and ended her life enslaved. --Parkwells 22:29, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Some of the facts need direct citations, such as 16% of slaves sold outside the state from 1850-1860, and 75% of slaves being freed or escaping during the Civil War. --Parkwells 22:29, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
"More than half the residents of Louisville owned slaves" - dubious
This is only possible if (a) many free residents owned slaves outside Louisville or (b) some slave residents owned other slaves. Otherwise, no more than half the residents could own slaves. And it's unlikely that free children owned slaves, so the proportion is rather lower. I think this statistic might be based on forgetting the fact that slaves were people. 173.66.211.53 (talk) 19:11, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
"More than half the HOUSEHOLDS of Louisville owned slaves"
Households during this period consisted of large Victorian families. The pattern of slave ownership in Southern "cities" consisted of a few number of slaves per per owner. The population of Louisville in 1860 was approx 70,000 people 10,000 were slaves. Lets say the avg slaves per owner is 3, that would mean 3300 households owned slaves in Louisville which is probably more than half of the households. Point being the institution of slavery in Louisville was pervasive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Funmountainlion (talk • contribs) 01:40, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

End of Slavery in Maryland
This article says: Kentucky did not abolish slavery during the Civil War, as did the border states of Maryland and Missouri.
But this says that Maryland abolished slavery during the war: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryland_in_the_American_Civil_War#Constitution_of_1864,_and_the_abolition_of_slavery
The timeline in the cited link is not completely clear, but perhaps the Kentucky article should be changed?
