There are 26 checkpoints in the Northern route and 29 checkpoints in the Southern route!
There are 26 checkpoints on each route in the Iditarod. The southern route is taken on odd numbered years(such as this year,2013) and the northern route is taken on even numbered years. I'm not able to give the exact information of where each checkpoint is on both northern and southern routes, but somewhere else on wikianswers(this website).

AS YOU CAN SEE, NOT MANY STATES JOINED THE SOUTHERN STATES. MANY JOINED THE NORTHERN STATES !
The Union soldiers defeated the Confederate soldiers. The southern states surrendered and the northern states put many sanctions on the southern states after the war.
