Best Answer

Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina all stayed in the Union after the mass exodus of southern states. Once Lincoln ordered all Union states to gather together troops to help fight the Confederacy, the four chose to leave the Union instead of raising arms against their "Southern Brothers" as they called it!

The Confederacy was officially wound-up about a month after Lincoln's death. There were certainly no new states wanting to join the Confederacy by then.
