There were nine slave-states that did not immediately join the Confederacy; they were undecided.
After Fort Sumter, four of them voted Confederate - Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas.
That left Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland, Delaware and District of Columbia.
DC abolished slavery in the first few weeks. Delaware only sent a few regiments to the Confederacy, and was essentially loyal. Kentucky was in serious danger of seceding and Lincoln allowed it to stay neutral at the beginning for fear of upsetting powerful slave-owners. Maryland was in a similar position, but Lincoln reacted by (illegally) jailing pro-Confederate leaders. Missouri experienced sectional guerrilla warfare throughout the conflict, but did not actually secede.
