  2. Massachusetts
  3. Illinois
  4. Georgia
Explanation
Answer - A - Of these states, President Lincoln was most concerned about how Kentucky’s population felt about the Civil War.

Key Takeaway: As a border state, Kentucky was of great concern to President Lincoln. Although Kentucky still maintained slavery, it did not vote for secession. Lincoln worked long and hard to keep the border states-Kentucky, Maryland, Delaware, and Missouri-loyal to the Union so they would not secede to the Confederacy.
