Nine of the thirteen original colonies had to ratify the Constitution for the new United States to be formed; Pennsylvania was the second colony to vote in favor of ratification, on December 12, 1787.

When the Civil War began in 1861, the states separated into Union and Confederate states. There was no question Pennsylvania would stay with the Union; it had begun a gradual process of abolishing slavery in 1780, even before the United States was formed as a country.
