Not all the slave-states approved of secession.

Of the slave-states of the Upper South, four seceded after Fort Sumter, and four more stayed loyal. These four - Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland, Delaware - were allowed to continue practising slavery, as Lincoln did not want to drive them into the arms of the Confederacy.
