California became a free state in 1850, ending the balance of free states and slave states. However, the slave states got a tougher fugitive slave law as a result of California's admission to the Union as a free state.
The Union in the American Civil War represented the free states (meaning slave-free states) plus five border slave states in the north of America. The Confederate States of America (the Confederacy) comprised the eleven southern slave states which had seceded from the United States of America.
Twenty-five states made up the Union during the civil war. These include five slaves states that were referred to as border states. Nevada and West Virginian became states during the Civil War and joined with the Union states.
The five border states that were slave states but remained in the Union during the Civil War were Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri, and West Virginia. These states had legal slavery but did not secede from the Union. Their strategic locations and resources were significant for the Union's war efforts. The status of these states was crucial in maintaining a balance between free and slave states during the conflict.
There were 19 states in the Union.

At the outbreak of the US Civil War in 1861, the United States consisted of 19 free States and 15 slave States.
