Delaware was considered a border state during the American Civil War because it was situated between the free states of the North and the slave states of the South. Although it was a slave state, Delaware had a small number of enslaved individuals and a strong Unionist sentiment among its population. Its strategic location and mixed economy made it a pivotal area for both the Union and the Confederacy. Additionally, Delaware stayed in the Union throughout the war, further solidifying its status as a border state.

In 1790, Delaware had a slave population of approximately 13,000 individuals, making up about 8% of the state's total population at the time. Delaware was one of the last slave-holding states in the North, and its slave population was relatively small compared to southern states. The state gradually moved towards abolition, and by 1860, the number of enslaved people had decreased significantly.
The slave state with more free black people than slaves was Virginia. Though there was much debate about whether the state should be considered a slave state or free state due to the number of free slaves.
