The US Civil War is considered to have begun on April 12, 1861, when Confederate forces fired upon Ft. Sumter in the harbor of Charleston South Carolina. Kansas was admitted to the Union on January 29, 1861 - about 2½ months prior to that. The next state admitted to the Union was West Virginia - which was split from Virginia June 20, 1863 - more than 2 years after the start of the Civil War
