Well, Don M, there are four commonwealths - MA, VA, PA and KY - but all of them are states in the union, together with the other 46, presuming the asker means the States in the Union of the present day United States of America.\nNow if the question is how many States were in the Union during the Civil War (as opposed to the Confederacy) we might look at the flag. At the outbreak of the Civil War (1861), the US Flag had a field of 33 stars representing 33 states. President Lincoln refused to remove the stars representing those states which seceded from the Union. (The Confederate Battle Flag had 13 stars to represent the 13 States of the Confederacy) From the first 3 months until 1863, the flag had 34 stars. In 1863, West Virginia separated from Virginia to join the Union. Consequently the Union flag had 35 stars until the close of the Civil War.

The Battle of Gettsyburg was fought in 1863, (July 1-3) during the Civil War, which lasted from 1860-1865.  It was the turning point of the war and marked the 'high tide' of the Confederacy.  Ironically, the day after the battle was July 4th, the celebration of American indepedence.....

Bleeding Kansas, sometimes referred to in the history of Kansas as Bloody Kansas or the Border War, was a sequence of violent events involving abolitionists (anti-slavery) and pro-slavery elements that took place in Kansas–Nebraska Territory and the western frontier towns of the U.S. state of Missouri between roughly 1854 and 1856. The term Bleeding Kansas was coined by Horace Greeley of the New York Tribune.

The battle of Chicamauga in the Civil War.\n\nhttp://ngeorgia.com/history/chickam.html\n\nBy the way, if you didn't have time to look it up yourself, then how did you have time to ask this question, and then wait for an answer for it.  Sounds like someone needs to get their priorities straightened out.

The border states were the states where the civil war was fought most bitterly.  Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia/West Virginia and others were the states where brother fought brother and neighbor waylaid neighbor.  The decision as to north or south that was decided by the state legislators did not prevent troops from these states from forming units on the other side.\nYour question does not make sense.  See Wikipedia, under the term 'Border States', perhaps something there will connect you with the answer you are looking for.

Yes, this was a battle on Christmas day in 1864 by a joint army-navy Union Army force on Fort Filsher... which was a Confedeeracy bstion that, at that time, protected the South's remaining major port of Wilmington, N.C.\n\nAs a result of that fizzled battle, the 10,000 Union attackers suffered 1,338 casualties. The 1,500 Rebels lost about 500 killed and wounded, with the rest captured.
