Why was taking sides hard for the border states?
The border states did not like the slavery and they got very upset and from my side of an opinion I would think theyn would of left the union but then they stayed in the union and they helped stop slavery. The swtates allowed slavery yet they have remained in the union.
What are the names of the 3 border states that stayed neutral during the civil war?
No one really stayed neutral. Many border states wanted to stay out of it because they were caught in the middle, but it wasn't a case of refusing to participate, because as border states, the war was being fought on their land. Even Kentucky, who issued a Declaration of Neutrality, had to choose sides when the confederacy invaded their state. Maryland also wanted to stay Neutral, but was unable to. Virginia got ripped apart (thus West Virginia) by the same conflict. 4 border states chose not to secede: Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, and Missouri. That doesn't mean they were neutral, but they wanted to solve the Union's problems another way.
Which four border states did not take sides in the civil war?
There were four border-states. that is, slave-states that did not join the Confederacy - Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland, Delaware. The local people, however, did take sides - very much so - all four of these states being deeply divided. Only one state was allowed to be neutral for a time, and that was Kentucky. When Confederates invaded, they were able to set up an alternative government, but it collapsed when the troops retreated. Missouri suffered guerrilla warfare throughout the conflict. Maryland saw riots at the beginning, but Lincoln had (illegally) jailed the pro-Confederate leadership of the state, and it stayed onside.
