Covington in Southern Victory
Convington, Kentucky was the home of the Drivers when Kentucky was part of the Confederate States. Early in the Great War, Covington was occupied by the United States, a situation that pleased the black citizens of Covington, but angered the whites. Covington became a hot-bed of rebellious activity, as whites sought to force the U.S. out, and Red rebels sought to thwart the white rebels.

Cincinnatus Driver and his family left Covington for Des Moines, Iowa after the Great War ended. Driver returned to Kentucky to convince his parents to come to Des Moines after the terms of the Richmond Agreement were announced, but because of a traffic accident was trapped there after Kentucky voted to return to the C.S. Eventually, Cincinnatus and his father were exchanged.
