Best Answer
While President Lincoln was in office, these states were added:


1.) West Virginia - June 20, 1863; seceded from Virginia when Virginia seceded from the Union; they were required to contribute to the abolition of slavery as a requisite from admission.


2.) Nevada - October 31, 1864 (admitted as a free state).
