How many slave states remained in the union during civil war?
The five Border States, though officially slave states, remained part of the Union. Each state handled the division in different ways. Delaware State house rejected secession overwhelmingly. While some held sympathy for the Confederacy, they were far away and really didn't identify with the southern states. While there was support for secession in Maryland, particularly Baltimore and some other areas, secession was rejected. Maryland provided troops for both the Union and the Confederacy. While Kentucky did not vote to secede, they passed a bill of neutrality, and asked both sides to stay out. When Confederate troops led by General Polk violated that neutrality, Kentucky decided to support General Ulysses S. Grant and ordered the confederates expelled. Missouri voted not to secede, but issued a formal statement of opposition to the Union's coercion of the southern states. West Virginia, then part of the state of Virginia considered secession treason and succeeded in splitting from the state when it chose to secede.
