Who was the governor during the Civil War?

Answer 1

Governor Robert E. Lee won battles in the east, but in 1863 his northward advance was turned back with heavycasualties after the Battle of Gettysburg. To the west, the Union gained control of the Mississippi River after their capture ofVicksburg, Mississippi, thereby splitting the Confederacy in two. Long-term Union advantages in men and material were realized in 1864 when Ulysses S. Grant fought battles of attrition against Lee, while Union general William Tecumseh Sherman capturedAtlanta, Georgia, and marched to the sea. Confederate resistance collapsed after Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865.

Answer 2

There were lots of them. There were 34 states at the start of the Civil War, and each one had a governor. Many of them probably changed during the course of the war. and two states were added to the Union as well. (This ignores the issue of whether the states of the confederacy were really "states" once the war began, but that is beyond the scope of the question).
