Which U S state was created as a result of the Civil War?

The U.S. state created as a direct result of the Civil War is West Virginia. As the Civil War began in 1861, the western counties of Virginia held strong Unionist sentiments, differing greatly from the eastern part of the state which seceded to join the Confederacy. These western counties organized conventions and ultimately voted to secede from Virginia itself, seeking to remain loyal to the United States.

Following this decision, the Restored Government of Virginia, representing the Unionist counties, gave its consent for the formation of a new state. After meeting constitutional requirements, including a vote by the residents of the proposed state and the approval of the U.S. Congress, West Virginia officially became the 35th state on June 20, 1863. It remains the only state in the Union to have been formed by seceding from a Confederate state during the Civil War.
