Guided Reading 16-1 Missouri, Kentucky, Delaware, and Maryland remained in the Union even though they allowed slavery. Losing these border states would seriously damage the North. Missouri could control parts of the Mississippi River; Kentucky controlled the Ohio River; Delaware was close to Philadelphia; and Washington, D.C., lay within Maryland; West Virginia seceded from the South and joined the Union

Comparing North and South
The North had a larger population, more industry, and more abundant resources. The South was a large area with a hostile population. Southerners were defending their land, their homes, and their way of life. Individual Southern states refused to give the Confederate government sufficient power. The Union’s plan for winning the war included gaining control of the Mississippi River. The South’s primary aim was to win recognition as an independent nation.

American People at War By the summer of 1861, the Confederate army had about 112,00 soldiers. The Union had about 187,000 soldiers. Both sides had expected a quick victory.
