John Cabell Breckinridge



This statue of Kentucky's Vice President and Presidential candidate John Cabell Breckinridge, who was a supporter of slavery,  stands at Main Street and Cheapside, not far from the location of Lexington's slave market.  In my column today on KyForward.com, I dicuss the history and legacy of Breckinridge, one of Kentucky's three Vice Presidents.
