During the Civil War in the United States, there were 20 Union states and 11 Confederate states. The Union states, also known as the Northern states, remained part of the United States, while the Confederate states, also known as the Southern states, seceded from the Union and formed their own government, the Confederate States of America. The war between these two factions took place from 1861 to 1865.
