Chapter 2 A Slow Start for Kentucky’s Children The story of education throughout the South is roughly parallel to that of the rest of the nation but with at least three significant additional influences: 1) the widespread agrarian attitude that education was largely a family matter, and for many, a matter of little necessity; 2) racism, born of slavery and plantation economics; and 3) its offspring, traditionalism, which reinforces paternalism, skeptical attitudes toward government and maintenance of the status quo. So change in the South comes slowly, when it comes. In the earliest days of the Union, a gradual and essentially peaceful abolition took place in the North. Typically, a state would pass a law declaring: all slaves born after a given date would be free when they reach the age of 21 for women, or 24 for men.

Its very name brings up thoughts of the Irish -- shamrocks, leprechauns, the wearing of the green. But the Limerick neighborhood was home to a small, close-knit community years before the first Irishman put down roots in the area. Before the Civil War, much of the area was farm land. Starting in the 1830s, a small community of blacks lived in the area between Broadway and Kentucky Street. Many were slaves who labored on a large plantation at Seventh and Kentucky streets; others were free blacks who were household servants. In 1858, the Louisville & Nashville Railroad bought the Kentucky Locomotive Works at 10th and Kentucky streets for $80,000, and within a decade, the railroad had built repair shops and a planing mill. At about that time, many Irish workers began moving their families from Portland into Limerick, nearer their jobs. Typically, they lived in modest brick or wood-fiarne houses or shotgun cottages, which were later replaced by the three-story brick and stone structures that line the streets today. L & N also hired black laborers, who lived with their families in homes in alleys behind streets. But fi-om the mid- 19th century until about 1905, Limerick was known as the city's predominant Irish neighborhood. Some historic accounts credit Tom Reilly, an early resident, with giving the neighborhood its name, and others believe it was named for the county or city of Limerick, which is on Ireland's west coast.
