Yes. Maryland was a slave state, but fought with the Union in the Civil War; as a result, Maryland is not named in the Emancipation Proclamation.

Slavery was abolished in Maryland with the adoption of a new state constitution in 1864. Because as a slave-holding border state it was home to many Confederate sympathizers, the vote to ratify that constitution was extremely narrow: 30,174 to 29,799.
