With free, federalist states in the North pitted <span>against a<\/span><span>nti-fede<\/span><span>ralist, slave states in the South, the Civil War&#8217;s outcome preserved the political unity of the United States through the present day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Civil War not only altered the trajectory of the country, it also directly impacted a larger share of the population than any other American war before or since. <span> According to the National Park Service, as many as 3.9 million enlisted during the conflict &#8211; or more than one in every 10 Americans. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Using data from <\/span><span>A Compendium of the War of the Rebellion<\/span><span> by Civil War statistician Frederick H. Dyer, first published in 1908, as well as <\/span><span>The Civil War Soldiers and Sailors Database<\/span><span> maintained by the National Park Service, 24\/7 Wall St. identified the states where the most Americans enlisted during the Civil War. In our analysis, we also included Washington, D.C. and Western territories that were not yet states.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>With limited industrial means and a suffering economy, secessionist Confederate states in the South were outgun<\/span><span>ned <\/span><span>by pro-Union states and territories throughout the war. They were also outmanned. With a larger population that covered a larger expanse of the country, Union enlistment totaled about 2.7 million. Estimates of Confederate enlistment, meanwhile, range from<\/span><span> 750,000 <\/span><span>to 1.2 million. Of the five states that enlisted the most troops during the conflict, four were on the side of the Union. (Here is a look at the 20 greatest armies of the Civil War.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Though the Union ultimately prevailed,<\/span><span> Northern states also suffered greater casualties than the South over the course of the war. An estimated 64<\/span><span>2,000 Union<\/span><span> troops were killed, compared to 483,000 confederate soldiers. It is important to note, however, that as a proportion of all enlisted troops, a larger share of Confederates died.
