A few states valued their membership in the United States of America more than their 'right' to slavery. These states were Delaware, Kentucky, and Missouri.

The state of Maryland was prepared to secede but was prevented by federal troops dispatched to their capital.

Washington, DC, while not a state, did permit slavery and did not attempt to join the Confederacy.
