What else can I help you with?
What was Lincoln's position on the south's secession movement?
He did not recognise the right of the Southern states to secede, and that is why he never formally declared war - it would have meant recognising the Confederacy as a sovereign nation.
Why was it so vital to keep Virginia from seceding from the Union?
Virginia, aside from being a large and populous state, was also on the border with Washington DC. This meant that the confederacy would literally be next door to the capital.
What state's secession was the worst for the confederacy?
Not sure what the question means. Do you mean worst for the Union? That would be Virginia. It meant that Washington DC had enemy country starting just across the bridge. Or do you mean, a slave-state that decided NOT to secede? That would probably be Maryland, as it would have largely surrounded Washington. Or do you mean the new state of West Virginia? That one voted to secede from Virginia and the Confederacy, and made a (not entirely welcome) gift to the Union.
What do States rights including secession Equality of the sexes and Abolition of slavery have in common?
They don't all have anything in common. States' Rights meant the right to own slaves, and secession meant risking war in defence of it. Equality of sexes and Abolition were both civil rights issues. (William Lloyd Garrison fought long and hard for both of these, as well as temperance.)
What is the union capital?
In the US civil war, the union meant the United States and its capital remained in Washington, DC.
Why did the union want loyalty from the border states?
The Union wanted loyalty from the border states because it was so close to the Capital of the Union, Washington D.C. Losing these states would most likely have meant that the confederacy would have taken the capital and the war would have had a different outcome.

Why was the fall of new Orleans a heavy blow to the confederacy?
Losing New Orleans meant a loss of one of the largest ports in the Confederacy. It meant that getting supplies to Confederate forces from European sources was that much more difficult. It also closed the mouth of the Mississippi River, and following the capture of Vicksburg, it cut the South in two.
What does the capital of America do?
The capital of any country is meant for administration. The capital of America is also meant for the same purpose.
What border state's loyalty to the Union was critical to keeping Washington D.C. from being surrounded by the Confederacy?
Maryland's loyalty to the Union was critical in preventing Washington D.C. from being surrounded by the Confederacy. Its geographical location, bordering the nation's capital, meant that if Maryland had seceded, the Confederacy could have effectively encircled Washington. The Union's control over Maryland allowed for vital supply lines and troop movements, ensuring the safety and security of the capital during the Civil War.
What is meant when the battle's lost and won?
The confederacy won the war

Was Robert E. Lee on the Union side?
He was the main General on the Confederate side fighting a losing war. Fortunately the Union defeated him. With the first answer well understood, Confederate General Robert E. Lee, nor historians throughout the post Civil War era, believed he was fighting a losing war. In fact until 1864, the Union also did not believe that victory was well in hand.

What is meant by the term capital cost?
the capital cost is the exact price
Why did general lee switch over to the confederacy?
He was a Virginian, which was part of the Confederacy, and even if he didn't fully agree with the Confederacy's motives he still was going to serve his state and protect it, even if it meant fighting for the Confederate States of America.
