It was fiercely contested between the two sides, and Lincoln allowed it to stay neutral for a while, to prevent it falling into the hands of the South.
When Braxton Bragg invaded the state in 1862, he carried wagonloads of Confederate uniforms and weapons for the recruits he expected, but very few volunteered. He was able to install a Confederate government, but it collapsed as soon as he retreated.
In the end, Kentucky remained loyal - a Union state.
Maryland remained within the Union (the North) throughout the Civil War. However, many residents of Maryland sympathised with the Confederacy (the South) and a substantial Union military presence was maintained in the state to ensure that it stayed in the Union.
Yes it did. If you would like to correct me please comment.

Sectionalism was one of the causes of the Civil War. The Southern states seceded from the Union because they didn't want President Lincoln to free their slaves. The South depended on their slaves to help with their farms; the slaves were part of the South's life. When Abraham Lincilon became President, the South didn't want to be part of the Union. They became the Confederate States of America. After the Civil War though, the South was united again with the North and slavery was abolished.
After the civil War the 13th amendment (Emancipation Proclamation) was made and abolished slavery. The south had to reconstruct their economy, as the slaves were a major part of the South's economy at the time. Do not think that the North won and said "Too Bad!", the North helped in the reconstruction as well.
The north, you can tell by where it is! :)
No. Kentucky is part of the upland south, along with Tennessee, eastern Virginia, eastern North Carolina. The deep south is typically thought of as Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina.

The North.
Texas was part of the confederacy.
John Reagan was the Confederate Postmaster General. He was part of the South during the Civil War.
In truth, the North was resonsible for bringing on the Civil War. the South seceded from the Union and for the most part wanted to peacefully be separate from the North. The North, declared war on the South to bring it back into the Union and form one country once more.

The north had giant tarantulas. The south had krakens. It's a fact!

The South wanted to leave the Union and form their own nation. The North wouldn't let them...so they fought about it. The North won, the South had to remain part of the US.
