There were four: Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland and Delaware. (And the Western counties of Virginia, which soon formed their own non-Confederate state, West Virginia).
Lincoln was especially anxious not to upset the people of these states and drive them into the arms of the Confederacy. When he issued the Emancipation Proclamation, he allowed these 'Buffer States' to continue practising slavery until the war's end.
