During the American Civil War there were five states which stayed neutral and were given the name "border" states. They were called border states because they each bordered a free state and were aligned with the union. The five border states were Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, and West Virginia.
Not all of the US States had declared their loyalties before and after the US Civil War began. These States are referred to as the "Border States". Kentucky, as one example declared neutrality as one of the border States.
