What was the capital of the border states during the civil war?
The border states were still in the Union and the capital of the US is Washington, DC. The American Civil war lasted from 1861 to 1865.
How many states where there during the civil war?
During the Civil War there were 24 states in the union including the Border States. This includes Maine,Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, California, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Wisconsin, Kansas, Vermont, Connecticut, New Jersey, Illinois, Iowa, Oregon, and many others. The "border states" are Kentucky, Maryland, Delaware, Missouri, and West Virginia.
What states were members of the confederacy?
None. By definition, the Border States were the slave-states that stayed out of the Confederacy. At one point, the Confederate General Braxton Bragg managed to invade Kentucky and set up a Confederate government there (and briefly, the regimental tailors were ordered to sew a twelfth star into the Stars and Bars), but it collapsed as soon as he retreated back across the state border.
How many union states during the civil war?
1. South Carolina (December 20, 1860) 2. Mississippi (January 9, 1861) 3. Florida (January 10, 1861) 4. Alabama (January 11, 1861) 5. Georgia (January 19, 1861) 6. Louisiana (January 26, 1861) 7. Texas (February 1, 1861) After the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, and Lincoln's subsequent call for troops on April 15, four more states declared their secession:[9] 1. Arkansas (May 6, 1861) 2. Virginia (April 17, 1861) 3. Tennessee (May 7, 1861) 4. North Carolina (May 20, 1861) Two more slave states had rival secessionist governments. The Confederacy admitted them, but the two pro-Confederate state governments soon went into exile and never controlled the states which they claimed to represent[citation needed]: 1. Missouri did not secede[citation needed] but a rump group proclaimed secession (October 31, 1861). 2. Kentucky did not secede[citation needed] but a rump, unelected group proclaimed secession (November 20, 1861). Although the slave states of Maryland and Delaware did not secede, many citizens from those states joined the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia.
What Southern states did not join the confederacy and why?
Kentucky and Maryland were border states, and Missouri and Kansas were caught in divided loyalties at the start of the US Civil War. Kansas was admitted as a state in 1861 and became the site of violent infighting between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions.
