Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware. Slaves in these states were not freed till after the US Civil War; not even by the Emancipation Proclamation. These four states were the slave border states and purposefully not included in the Emancipation Proclamation.
US President Lincoln could not risk having these states join the Confederacy.
