Beyond just economics, the Confederacy had fewer people than the North. Of the 9 million southerners, only 5.5 million were white. Whereas the north had 22 million people. Four slave states, Delaware, Missouri, Kentucky and Maryland remained loyal to the union. Pockets of unionism existed elsewhere as well. Throughout the war, a steady stream of Blacks fled slavery to fight with the Union.
