West Virginia, certainly. Possibly Kansas.

Kansas
The Territory of Kansas existed during the years leading up to the U.S. Civil War. The territory of Kansas existed from May 30, 1854 until January 29, 1861 when the eastern portion of the territory was admitted to the Union as the state of Kansas.
Kansas fought for the North during the Civil War. The state was a key battleground in the lead-up to the war, particularly during the period known as "Bleeding Kansas," where pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions clashed. Ultimately, Kansas entered the Union as a free state in 1861, aligning itself with the Union against the Confederacy.
Kansas was not a border state during the American Civil War. The border states were Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri, which were states that allowed slavery but did not secede from the Union. Kansas, on the other hand, was a free state and did not have the same debates over secession and slavery.
Kansas became a state on January 29, 1861, during the period leading up to the American Civil War. The Civil War officially began on April 12, 1861, shortly after Kansas achieved statehood. The tension surrounding the issue of slavery in Kansas, known as "Bleeding Kansas," was a significant precursor to the broader conflict that would erupt into war.
