Prior to the Civil War, all the states belonged to the same union. The point of the war was not to conquer the south, but merely to prevent it from leaving the union. The southern states, it should be noted, still have the same representation in Congress, the same voting power and the same rights that they always did, the only exception being that slavery was abolished by constitutional amendment. Many US Presidents have been elected from southern states, in the years following the Civil War. Lyndon Johnson was from Texas, as was George W. Bush and his father, George H.W. Bush; Bill Clinton was from Arkansas. So the south is not conquered territory, it is simply part of the United States.

The original proponent of the divide-and-conquer plan to win the Civil War was General Winfield Scott.
