In the terms of the 1860's the "border states" were slave holding states that did not join the Confederacy but were allowed to retain their slaves. Geographically, Kentucky and Missouri were a buffer of sorts between the South and the North. Maryland surrounded the city of Washington DC making it necessary to prevent it from joining the Confederacy. Delaware's location and very small slave population were not important.
