States That Joined the Union During the Civil War
Since today is U.S. Flag Day, there were three states that joined the United States during the war years, causing stars to be added to the union.
1859-1861-- 33 stars when Oregon joined
1861-1863-- 34 stars when Kansas joined
1863-1865-- 35 stars when West Virginia joined
Wikipedia has Nevada joining October 31, 1864
