The final four states (Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Arkansas) joined the Confederacy only when they learned that the fighting had started with the attack on Fort Sumter.
Their hesitancy to join seems to foreshadow events that followed. Virginia and Tennessee saw the largest number of battles in the war and had extensive battle damage to infrastructure and economy. North Carolina lost more men killed than any other state.
