*The Southern Exposition held in Louisville in 1883* not only showcased the products from the South, such as cotton, but the Exposition also showcased Kentucky made products and embraced the new technology of the North such as electric lights. The Southern Exposition may have tried to convey to the world that the show would showcase the South, but the exposition actually became a blending of the modern technology with agriculture, which fits more traditionally with Kentucky’s linking with both the North and South. more..
