There were 25 states: Wisconsin, Vermont, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Oregon, New York, California, Delaware, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio, Missouri, Michigan, Maryland, Kentucky, Iowa, Illinois, West Virginia, Connecticut, and Nevada.

This isn't a list that's set in stone - Kansas joined after the secession crisis, West Virginia seceded from Virginia, and Nevada joined during the war.
