Trick question.  Virginia split into Virginia and WEST Virginia at the time, when Virginia joined the confederacy, and West Virginia remained in the Union.

Arkansas had alot of troops to join the confederacy. Not alot happened in Arkansas but if it were not for the Confederacy it would not be a state. It was started by the confederacy. It was a territory before 1860.

The Continental Congress was the legislative body of the colonies from 1776-1787 and was replaced by the current Congress upon ratification of the US Constitution.  The Congress of the Confederacy was the legislative body of the Confederate States of America from 1860-1865 during the years of Southern secession from the Union.

This is something that is possible but requires great effort to make it happen.  There are good reasons for changing our states' boundaries.  Western and eastern Washngton have very different interests and economies, as do northern and southern California.  I grew up in the San Joaquin Valley of California.  I saw over time the millions in southern California having an inordinate influence on the lives and affairs of the rest of California.  All are good people but their interests can be so dramatically different and continuously at odds, leading to unending stalemates and unresolved problems.

There wasn't much population in the south then.  Most of the battles were in the north, from Virginia to New York to Connecticut and Massachusetts, mainly.

Description: In May and June of 1863, Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant’s armies converged on Vicksburg, investing the city and entrapping a Confederate army under Lt. Gen. John Pemberton. On July 4, Vicksburg surrendered after prolonged siege operations. This was the culmination of one of the most brilliant military campaigns of the war. With the loss of Pemberton’s army and this vital stronghold on the Mississippi, the Confederacy was effectively split in half. Grant's successes in the West boosted his reputation, leading ultimately to his appointment as General-in-Chief of the Union armies. \n\nResult(s): Union victory

Northern? Southern? The distinction is difficult to make for many states because they are generally categorized by their affiliations during the Civil War, not so much as to their geographical location. That makes it tough.\nGenerally being a southern state meant being located south of the Mason-Dixon line (which Maryland is). The Mason-Dixon line is actually the common east to west border of Pennsylvania and Maryland. Interestingly, if one were to extend the line to the east it would go through the southern part of NewJersey. Hm? We should all be glad, northern or southern, that we live in the \nUNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

Technically, I'm not sure there is a correct answer.\n\nKentucky and West Virginia come closest, but both were parts of Virginia when it was under British Rule.\n\nI will say West Virginia, since it was created long after the French and British had left the US.

The Confederacy (Virgina) bordered DC across the Potomac, so it had to be defended from attack. Abe Lincoln went to observe the fighting, and became the only sitting President to come under enemy fire.

Lincoln County is bordered on the east by South Carolina; on the west by Wilkes County; and to the south by McDuffie and Columbia counties.\n\nEffingham County is also bordered on the east by South Carolina. Then, working counterclockwise, it's surrounded by Screven County, Bulloch County, Bryan County and Chatham County.\n\nToombs is REALLY surrounded. Pretend we're using a clock face, and start at 12 o'clock and move around the clock: Emmanuel County, Candler County, Tattnal County, Appling County, Jefferson Davis County, Montgomery County, and Treutlen County.\n\nJefferson County is bordered to the north by Warren, McDuffie and Columbia counties; to the east by Richmond and Burke counties; to the south by Emmanuel and Johnson counties; and to the west by Washington and Glasscock counties.
