Depending on how you look at it, either 11 or 13. The discrepancy is because both Missouri and Kentucky were intensely divided on the question (the War Between the States is sometimes described as "brother against brother"; Missouri and Kentucky were two of the places where this was most likely to be literally true). Both states formed governments-in-exile that joined the Confederacy, and both states were officially claimed by both the Confederacy and the Union. The final version of the "Stars and Bars" flag of the Confederacy, and the later national flags the "Stainless Banner" and the "Blood-Stained Banner" had 13 stars. So, for that matter, did the Confederate Naval Jack and the (square) battle flags of several Confederate armies (the "Southern Cross", popularly - and incorrectly - called today the "Confederate Flag").
Another state with sharply divided opinions was Virginia, where several counties essentially seceded from Virginia when Virginia seceded from the Union. However, in this case, these counties wound up forming the new state of West Virginia. In Kentucky and Missouri, both the pro- and anti- slavery governments claimed sovereignty over the entire state.
