No. Eleven slave states did secede and join the Confederacy.

The slave state of Delaware, seeing how Maryland was punished and prevented from seceding, did not try to secede. And there were still some slaves in some northern states, but not a great many. For instance, there were still a small number of slaves in New Jersey in 1865, when the war ended.
