The Union states were free except:
Maryland
Delaware
Missouri
and Kentucky

no the union are free ,confederate are agents slavery Not true. Md,De,Mo,Ky were Union states that had slavery. In the middle of the war,WVa became a Union state (June '63) and also allowed slavery. All Confederates had slavery.
They said the original Union was a collection of states that had joined it voluntarily, and were therefore equally free to quit.
During the Civil War, the United States was divided into the Union and the Confederacy. Twenty states belonged to the Union, and there were also four border states that did not secede from the United States, but also did not give up slavery. The Confederacy had eleven states.
The North was called the Union because it represented those states that remained in "union" together as the Unites States, and because it was fighting to preserve that union by keeping the rebellious Southern states from leaving it.
The Missouri Compromise was Missouri (South) and Maine (North) wanting to come into the United States union, government didn't know if they both should be slave states or free states. An idea proposed by Henry Clay stated that Maine should be a free state, so Missouri should be a slave state. This achieved that any new state that wanted to become apart of the union above the 36'30 latitude are free states, then anything below the latitude are slave states.
That makes no sense.
That proclamation had little effect, other than symbolic, because the states that accepted the proclamation were the Union States, which were free states, anyhow. The Confederate States did not accept the jurisdiction of the Union government.
The Union states that bordered seceding states included both free and slave states. For instance, Pennsylvania and Ohio were free states that bordered the slave states of Virginia and Kentucky. Additionally, Missouri, which was a border state with divided loyalties, had Union and Confederate sympathizers but was also adjacent to free states like Illinois and Iowa. Thus, the border regions were complex, reflecting a mix of free and slave state dynamics.
None of the Border States seceded even though they were slave states.
