Kentucky and Missouri
The border states were called so because they were situated on the border between the Union (North) and the Confederacy (South) during the American Civil War. These states were Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, and Delaware. They were crucial because they had strategic significance and their allegiance could have tipped the balance of power in the war.
They were border states for the Union and Confederate. Maryland was especially important because it contained the U.S. capital (Washington D.C.)

The border states (Delaware, Maryland, and Kentucky) were important to the North during the Civil War because they were slave states that did not secede from the Union.

Additionally, their strategic location along the border between the North and South made them crucial for controlling transportation routes and communication lines.
Kentucky borders seven states: West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. Missouri and Tennessee both border EIGHT states….so, technically, they also border seven states.
Maryland was one of the so-called "border states", it had slavery but did not secede from the Union. Maryland-like many states- provided soldiers to both sides in the conflict.
Technically, four so-called border States were neutral in the US Civil War. They were Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware.
The border states were not against slavery, so when the emancipation proclamation comes in, they might have decided to join the confederate states
The so-called border states of Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware retained their slaves during the US Civil War and did not join the Confederacy. If they had, the chances for a successful war for secession by the South would have increased dramatically. During the US Civil War, President Lincoln attempted to present gradual plans to reduce then end slavery in the so-called border states.
