During the Civil War, the United States was divided into the Union and the Confederacy. Twenty states belonged to the Union, and there were also four border states that did not secede from the United States, but also did not give up slavery. The Confederacy had eleven states.
THE UNION WAS A SIDE IT STANDS FOR THE NORTHERN STATES THAT REMAINED LOYAL TO THE ORIGINAL UNITED STATES. THE TERM UNION IN THIS CASE IS THE UNION OF STATES IT IS A NICK NAME FOR THE U.S.
The North was called the Union because it represented those states that remained in "union" together as the Unites States, and because it was fighting to preserve that union by keeping the rebellious Southern states from leaving it.
During the civil war there were 24 states in the union including the border states. but there was 23 states that remained loyal to the union during the war.
11 states were in the Union in 1887. Please correct me if I am wrong
