The slave states remaining in the Union were mainly border states. The "border states" economy wasn't as dependant on slavery as were their southern cousins.

Which was the last state to leave the union?

It depends on what you consider secession. North Carolina was the last state who's legislature approved an ordinance of secession (May 20, 1861). However, both Tennessee and Virginia submitted their articles of secession to the voters for approval, and these ratifications occurred later. Virginia voters approved secession on May 23, 1861, while Tennessee voters approved secession on June 8, 1861. So while Tennessee was the last state to "officially" secede, North Carolina was the last state to practically secede (as the voter ratifications were basically just a formality at that point).

When did the us break apart during the civil war my friend is arguing to that the us didnt split up during the war. hes also saying that there was just the us and not to nations and to diff president?

The US officially split during the Civil War in 1861. The southern states did secede from the Union, being the United States. When a secession occurs there is a withdrawl from the original entity. Thus forming the Confederate States of America whose president was Jefferson Davis. The United States, of course, at the SAME time was run by President Abraham Lincoln.
