Page "The Guns of the South" Paragraph 6

In negotiations between the two Americas, to which Lee is made a representative for the CSA, the United States agrees to pay millions of dollars in reparations, albeit reluctantly.

The Confederacy, in turn, gives up any claim to Maryland and West Virginia.

After much debate, both sides agree for Kentucky and Missouri to hold elections and determine whether they will remain in the Union or secede.

Supporters, both official and unofficial, pour into both states and try to sway voters their way.

Ultimately, despite an assassination attempt on Lee by a former slave and efforts at rigging elections by the Rivington men, Kentucky secedes and Missouri remains in the Union.
