How many states are in the USA? I have heard (on QI) that 3 of the United States actually make up a confederacy! These States are on the East Coast.

Three states may make up the Confederacy, but it's not recognized by the USA union.
The Souths secession was not recognized as legal. Therefore, they've always been part of the United States.
50 states.

If you're talking about Commonwealths.... they aren't all on the East Coast (Kentucky)
Since all the Confererate states rejoined the Union, it is STILL 50...

Why do people keep posting that there are 102 senators in the US. There are 100 senators and the vice president who can vote to break ties in the senate

The correct answer is 50. Whatever you think counts or does not count is a fallacy.
