The Union (northern states) consisted of 23 states which were not a part of the Confederacy (southern states) during the Civil War. These states are listed above. Although some of these states are on the West Coast and others are in the Mid-West, they were considered a part of the "northern" side.
The Union (North) states at the beginning of the Civil War were Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Maine, Missouri, Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin, California, Minnesota, Oregon, Kansas. West Virginia and Nevada became states as part of the Union during the war.
Southern sympathizers helped the Confederacy in the slave states of Missouri, Kentucky and Maryland. Despite the fact that they were slave states, they did not join the Confederacy. Within these states, however, were southern sympathizers that aided the South by becoming guerrilla fighters.
The eleven Southern states that were involved in the US Civil War were South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas. Following the war, the country was united as the United States.
There were several groups of states that remained loyal to in the Union at the beginning of the Civil War. States that did not allow slavery were Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Vermont, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Kansas. These states formed the core of the Union war effort in both recruiting men and manufacturing military supplied.
On the Pacific coast, Oregon and California did not allow slavery and remained loyal to the union but were too far away to lend much more than token support, though gold mined in California was helpful in financing the Union war effort. The Nevada Territory was granted statehood during the war but like the other westerns states, its small population and remote location proved of little strategic benefit to the union.
Border States, which were states that allowed slavery but remained loyal to the Union, were Delaware, Maryland, Missouri, and Kentucky. These states were hampered by mixed loyalties. Many men volunteered for the Union army but many others served in the Confederate military. However their strategic positions allowed Union troops and supplies to move more or less unmolested into the heart of Confederate territory. Keeping Maryland in the Union was considered particularly important because loosing it would have isolated Washington, DC from the rest of the North.
When Virginia succeeded from the Union in 1861 the western portion of the state declared its loyalty to the Union and succeeded from Virginia. In 1863, it formed it own state called West Virginia. Like the Border States, its loyalties were mixed but its official loyalty to the Union allowed the Union army to use it as a base of operations against confederate forces in the strategic Shenandoah Valley.
There were 11 southern states during the Civil War. Some of the states were Virginia, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Louisiana.
