Lincoln was especially anxious not to upset Kentucky's political leaders and drive them into the Confederate camp.
He not only allowed slavery to continue there (as in the other three 'buffer-states'), but permitted Kentucky to remain neutral in the first months of the war.
This diplomacy paid off, and Kentucky eventually declared for the Union, despite a powerful pro-Southern lobby. When a Confederate army under Braxton Bragg invaded the state, he installed a Confederate government, but it collapsed as soon as the troops departed.
