A Civil War-era map of the United States showing Union states and territories in red, Confederate states in yellow, border states in blue, Kansas in orange, and Indian Territory (Oklahoma)...
A Civil War-era map of the United States showing Union states and territories in red, Confederate states in yellow, border states in blue, Kansas in orange, and Indian Territory (Oklahoma) in green. The Missouri Compromise line of 1820 is noted on the map, extending to the Pacific Coast.
Another easily overlooked detail is the marking of the short-lived north/south division of New Mexico and Arizona. New Mexico territory was a free territory, whilst Arizona Territory declared allegiance to the Confederate cause as a slaveholding territory in 1861. It was quickly occupied by Union forces from California in 1862 and remained under Union control until the end of the war.
