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.
