The joined the Union. Lincoln's diplomacy was successful.
11 states were on the Confederate side 20 states were on the Union side There were 5 border states, including West Virginia
The four border states were Kentucky, West Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware. These were Slave States that fought on the side of the North. When President Lincoln declared all slaves free in the South, this did not include the slaves in the Border States.
All of the states at that time either stayed in the Union or joined the Confederacy. Geographically. Geographically, there were no states in between the two nations. The Border States is the term given to the slave states that chose to stay in the Union. They included Kentucky, Delaware, Maryland, Missouri and West Virginia. (West Virginia succeeded from Virginia after Virginia succeeded from the Union in order to avoid fighting for the Confederacy.) They were all near the border of the Confederacy. They knew that whichever side they chose, there would likely be fighting on their territory.
The border states did not like the slavery and they got very upset and from my side of an opinion I would think theyn would of left the union but then they stayed in the union and they helped stop slavery. The swtates allowed slavery yet they have remained in the union.

Five, if you count West Virginia as a state ( in 1860 it was still part of Virginia, but broke away from the Confederacy and joined the Union. In 1863, it became an offical US state). The slave states or Border States were Maryland, Delaware, Kentucky, Misssouri, and West Virginia

Ther term "border states" also applies to countries of one affiliation that have a border with countries of another affiliation. such as the countries that bordered the former "Warsaw pact" block in eastern Europe.
During the Civil War, there were twenty northern states. However, the border states (states situated between the north and south) fought on the side of the Union, totaling up to twenty-five states. Eleven states fought on the side of the south.
Kentucky, W.Virginia, Maryland, and Missouri.
