383.More Seceders

The Southerners flocked to the standards of the Confederacy , and four more states joined the ranks of seces - sion . These were Arkansas , Tennessee , North Carolina , and Virginia . In Virginia the people were sharply divided on the question of seces - sion . Finally Virginia seceded , but the western Virginians , in their turn , seceded from Vir - ginia and two years later were admitted to the Union as the state of West Virginia . Four " bor - der states " had seceded ; but four other " border states " were still within the Union . These were Delaware , Maryland , Kentucky , and Missouri .
