Given that only 11 states seceded from the Union, it would be sort of astounding if they were currently represented by more than 22 Senators. How did you count 13?

So did the Arizona Territory. But those were essentially dissidents from state governments that did not recognize secession. They Mayor of New York wanted to secede, but he didn't have the votes to bring his state with him, either.https://twitter.com/Toral1/status/1223721785591582721 …
