What is the difference between the union free state and the territories controlled by the federal government?
score:5
Accepted answer
Those territories were, at the time of the American Civil War (1861-1865), organized incorporated territories.
They were governed by the federal government directly, "with a measure of self-rule", but without the full "state" status, and as such not among the United States of America.
The Territory of Hawaii, for example, had this status from 1898 till 1959...
During the Civil War, some territories were controlled by the Union, while Confederate Arizona and the Indian Territory were claimed by the CSA.

Apart from the 11 green States which seceded to form the Confederacy, there are three types of areas shaded pink or salmon:
- Union Free States: States which (a) had not seceded from the Union and (b) prohibited slavery
- Union Slave Holding States: (Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware) States which (a) had not seceded from the Union and (b) permitted slavery, and as a result these were not covered by Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, two of which (with West Virginia) later prohibited slavery locally and two which were affected by the Thirteenth Amendment
- Territories controlled by the Federal Government: areas which were not yet States and so could not participate in Federal Presidential and Congressional elections). As shown by a thin green line, not all of these were physically controlled at all stages by the Union government, notably the Indian Territory (largely the later State of Oklahoma) and the southern New Mexico Territory (called the Arizona Territory by the Confederacy, becoming parts of the later States of Arizona and New Mexico)
