Slavery was legal in several border states that did not join the rebellion, and the Emancipation Proclamation did not cover areas that were not in rebellion. Kentucky, Maryland, Delaware and Missouri were all states that had legal slavery until the passage of the 13th Amendment after the Civil War. West Virginia was in a special category in that it had been part of a slave state until 1863, when it became a state of its own and joined the Union. The District of Columbia had slavery until January, 1863.
