To determine which of the given options was neither part of the Confederacy nor the Union, we need to understand the historical context. During the American Civil War (1861-1865), the Confederate States of America seceded from the Union, creating a separate entity. The Union, also known as the Northern states or the United States of America, remained intact and fought against the Confederacy.
To find the answer, we can look at the status of each state during the Civil War. Here is a breakdown of each option:
A. Minnesota: Minnesota was part of the Union during the Civil War. It joined the Union on May 11, 1858, as the 32nd state.
B. Texas: Texas was part of the Confederacy during the Civil War. It seceded from the Union on February 1, 1861, and joined the Confederacy shortly afterward.
C. Michigan: Michigan was part of the Union during the Civil War. It joined the Union on January 26, 1837, as the 26th state.
D. Colorado: Colorado was neither part of the Confederacy nor the Union during the Civil War. It became a U.S. territory on February 28, 1861, but did not join the Union until August 1, 1876, after the Civil War had ended.
Therefore, the answer is D. Colorado as it was neither part of the Confederacy nor the Union.
