The Condedrerates, the ones who secced for the United States and the Union, the states that stayed loyal to the United States. The confederates were in the south and the union was in the north.
to fight against confederate states
It was the Southern states that 'formed separately' by breaking away as the Confederacy. The North was what was left. They didn't call themselves the North. They called themselves the Union.
The North had abolished slavery, because it did not fit the industrial system. In the Civil War, four slave-states stayed loyal to the Union, and were counted as 'the North'.
Most slave states left the union. The "border" states that practiced slavery, but stayed in the union, probably realized it would be too difficult to fight off the North.
That could be Kentucky or Missouri, which both had three borders with free-soil states. But they had also stayed in the Union, as 'buffer states' that had voted against joining he Confederacy.
