Ironically, slavery (but not slave-trading) was still lawful in the District of Columbia, though there were very few slaves there.
Also, there was the new state of West Virginia, created in mid-war when the Western counties of Virginia seceded from Virginia, and offered their loyalty to the Union. The new state was not entirely slave-free.
yes ,along with the three other border states of Delaware, Maryland, and Kentucky. although all four states allowed slavery, they stayed in the Union
The border states did not like the slavery and they got very upset and from my side of an opinion I would think theyn would of left the union but then they stayed in the union and they helped stop slavery. The swtates allowed slavery yet they have remained in the union.
During the American Civil War there were five states which stayed neutral and were given the name "border" states. They were called border states because they each bordered a free state and were aligned with the union. The five border states were Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, and West Virginia.
These were the two biggest border-states - that is, slave-states of the Upper South, that had stayed loyal to the Union. With these states, Lincoln had to be especially diplomatic, to persuade them not to go Confederate.

Most slave states left the union. The "border" states that practiced slavery, but stayed in the union, probably realized it would be too difficult to fight off the North.

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 slave states remaining in the Union were mainly border states. The "border states" economy wasn't as dependant on slavery as were their southern cousins.
