Missouri, Kentucky, Delaware and Maryland were border states that remained in the union but still allowed slavery. The state legislatures of Kentucky, Delaware and Maryland voted to remain. Missouri voted to leave the union but union troops stormed the state capital and installed a pro union government to insure they remained with the union. New Jersey also was a slave state and did not outlaw slavery until the passage of the 13th amendment in 1865. It was not legal to buy or sale slaves but it was legal to own slaves that were already in your possession. Captured slaves were returned to their masters in Missouri, Kentucky, Delaware and Maryland and in fact there are records of the Union Army conducting slave auctions in the border states. Slaves in these states were not freed till after the civil war; not even by the Emancipation Proclamation.
