Territory
The most important issue of the negotiations in Norfolk was over territory. The Union agreed to gratn independence in exchange for keeping West Virginia, Missouri, and Kentucky in the Union. The Confederacy was also given all land in the Indian Territory located south of the 36 degrees 30 minutes line. The Confederacy revoked its claims to parts of the Arizona and New Mexico territories.

Shipping
Both party expressed concerns about access to certain waters. Assurances were given that free passage would be guaranteed within the Chesapeake Bay. Additionally, both sides agreed not to have any military ships within the Potomac River, but to share access for merchant ships along the river. Both were granted full access to the Rio Grande and Mississippi River (Confederate access up to the Missouri River), and the Confederacy was also granted access to the part of the Tennessee River located within Kentucky, and the preceding section of the Ohio River.
