It appears most major Northern cities had both cricket and baseball teams at the start of the Civil War. I have not read enough to know if most major Southern cities also had both types of sports teams at the start of the Civil War. So my question is did either section favor one sport over the other?
Modern rules baseball started in the mid 1840s and probably had spread across the nation. This does not mean that older style of baseball and or cricket did not remain in many areas up to and even after the Civil War.
