What are the names of the 3 border states that stayed neutral during the civil war?
No one really stayed neutral. Many border states wanted to stay out of it because they were caught in the middle, but it wasn't a case of refusing to participate, because as border states, the war was being fought on their land. Even Kentucky, who issued a Declaration of Neutrality, had to choose sides when the confederacy invaded their state. Maryland also wanted to stay Neutral, but was unable to. Virginia got ripped apart (thus West Virginia) by the same conflict. 4 border states chose not to secede: Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, and Missouri. That doesn't mean they were neutral, but they wanted to solve the Union's problems another way.

Was Kentucky in the confederacy?
Good question. Kentucky was one of the Border States - slave-states that had narrowly voted against joining the Confederacy, but clearly still at risk of doing so. Lincoln was so sensitive about this that he allowed Kentucky to stay neutral for the first year of the war. In 1862, the Confederates invaded the state, and their commander, Braxton Bragg, was able to set up a Southern government there. At this point, the Confederates sewed a twelfth star into their flag, representing Kentucky. However, this government collapsed as soon as Bragg retreated, and Kentucky finally, if reluctantly, declared for the Union.
