North: Philadelphia
It keeps the capital in a fairly border state (the southern democratic party did well in Pennsylvania).  Also, Philadelphia is a good distance from the south.
South: New Orleans
This would ensure New Orleans didn't defect to the north.  It's one of the largest cities in the south at the time.  The one problem is the blockade.

uhhhhh.... one problem, the union captured new orleans during the war.......
