Yeah, that's why I said it because it is the neutral answer (as a student of American history, there are definite pro/con arguments for each side in the conflict). Delaware was asked to secede by a Confederate delegation, but decided to not join the Confederacy (we were the first state to ratify the Constitution, but one of the last to leave if we had). Delaware sent men to both Northern and Southern armies though.
