Best Answer

It didn't.

During the Civil War, the Northern section was called 'The Union'.

If it had continued to call itself the 'United States', that would have indicated official recognition of the Confederate States as a sovereign nation.

However, the 'Union' responded well to Ulysses Grant's capture of Fort Donelson under the terms 'Unconditional Surrender', since 'U.S.' chimed wth 'United States'. It may have been at this point that Grant inserted his mother's family name Simpson into his own name. (He was actually christened 'Hiram Ulysses Grant', but the West Point nicknames were always based on initials, and he didn't like being called 'Huggy', so he dropped the 'Hiram'.)
