Who had more states union or confederacy by how much?
At the beginning of the Civil War, the Union had 19 states, not including the four border states that did not secede. The Confederacy had only 11.
Who was a threat to the union in the civil war?
Aside from the obvious threat from the confederacy and Lee, the seccesion of border states was a major threat. Lincoln was hesitent to issue the Emancipation Proclaimation because he feared alienating the border states. These states were the buffer zone bettween the Confederacy and hte north. Lossing them would not only give the Confederacy more men, it would also shift the battle lines closer to Northern strong holds and the nations capitol.
Which four border states did not take sides in the civil war?
There were four border-states. that is, slave-states that did not join the Confederacy - Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland, Delaware. The local people, however, did take sides - very much so - all four of these states being deeply divided. Only one state was allowed to be neutral for a time, and that was Kentucky. When Confederates invaded, they were able to set up an alternative government, but it collapsed when the troops retreated. Missouri suffered guerrilla warfare throughout the conflict. Maryland saw riots at the beginning, but Lincoln had (illegally) jailed the pro-Confederate leadership of the state, and it stayed onside.
The states of the upper south joined the Confederacy only when?
The final four states (Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Arkansas) joined the Confederacy only when they learned that the fighting had started with the attack on Fort Sumter. Their hesitancy to join seems to foreshadow events that followed. Virginia and Tennessee saw the largest number of battles in the war and had extensive battle damage to infrastructure and economy. North Carolina lost more men killed than any other state.
Why did slave holding states decide to not join the Confederacy?
Kentucky was a slave holding state that did not join the confederacy. Lincoln is quoted as having said something to the effect that if he could not win Kentucky he could not win the war. Also, once Lincoln issued the immacipation proclimation, only slaves within states that had joined the confederacy were free, meaning that Kentucky could still legally continue to own slaves.
