I am pretty sure Ohio had the most companies... that saw action anyway. Lotta Generals, and Presidents have called Ohio home.
The NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets are an homage to this I think.
New York had draft riots... I'd like to see your source.
Also, New Mexico Territory, was the sight of the Battle of Glorietta Pass. Colorado Union soldiers send a whole bunch of Texas shitheels walking back to Texas. Your numbers are... flawed.
What is the size of a Company? Cav Companies are diff than Infantry... and Artillery is organized into Batteries. Since the answer varies, your data doesn't really hold water. No offense.
Also, the five civilized tribes inhabiting current day Oklahoma were slave owners... and fought for the Confederacy.

Ok, so do we count one New Yorker, and the Irishman he paid? (the War Department, collected fees to send a sub in your place)
The numbers add up if you count every New Yorker who paid their way out of the draft, AND the idiot fresh off the potato boat, that actually fought on the battlefields.
