The Russellville Convention was a sovereignty convention held by secessionists on November 18 through 20, 1861 in Russellville, Kentucky after the state government formally declared neutrality in the American Civil War. The Confederate States of America recognized the convention, which consisted of 116 delegates from 68 counties, and admitted Kentucky into the confederacy with Bowling Green as its capital and George W. Johnson as governor.
