Missouri did not secede[citation needed] but a rump group proclaimed secession (October 31, 1861). 2. Kentucky did not secede[citation needed] but a rump, unelected group proclaimed secession (November 20, 1861). Although the slave states of Maryland and Delaware did not secede, many citizens from those states joined the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia.
