When the US Civil War began four states that remained in the Union had slavery. They were Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware. Until 1862, slavery also existed in Washington DC.
Maryland
Under the Presidency of James Buchanan (15th President: 1857-1861), SC was the first state to leave the Union. The creation of the Confederacy information can be found from this link: http://www.bookrags.com/research/1861-creation-of-the-confederacy-acwr-03/
Kentucky and Maryland were border states, and Missouri and Kansas were caught in divided loyalties at the start of the US Civil War. Kansas was admitted as a state in 1861 and became the site of violent infighting between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions.
Slavery
None. By definition, the Border States were the slave-states that stayed out of the Confederacy. At one point, the Confederate General Braxton Bragg managed to invade Kentucky and set up a Confederate government there (and briefly, the regimental tailors were ordered to sew a twelfth star into the Stars and Bars), but it collapsed as soon as he retreated back across the state border.
Civil War 1861-1865
The state of Missouri did join the confederacy in 1861.
The Missouri Compromise of 1820 allowed Missouri to join the Union as a slave-state. At the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, Lincoln allowed Missouri to continue practising slavery for the duration of hostilities, so as not to drive it into the arms of the Confederacy. The 13th Amendment (December 1865) outlawed slavery in every state of the Union.
No states joined the Confederacy during the month of March 1861. Seven states joined the Confederacy prior to March 1861 and four more after that.
Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, Delaware. District of Columbia was also a slave-state (though not allowed to trade slaves) until the summer of 1861.
