∙ 9y agoOfficially, 11 states. Alabama, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, Mississippi, Florida, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Tennessee.
However, two states, Kentucky and Missouri, had Confederate sympathizers who tried to secede and failed; each had a separate Confederate government set up, but these governments had no power and did not actually rule. Additionally, some of the territories in the west that weren't states yet, like Arizona and New Mexico, were considered part of the Confederacy.
Maryland, which was technically a slave state, had their legislature vote on secession but overwhelmingly voted against it. Then Union soldiers occupied parts of it (especially Baltimore), arrested Confederate sympathizers, and ensured that Maryland would not secede. The Union government did not want to take the chance- if Maryland had seceded, Washington DC would've been totally surrounded by Confederate states.
