In 1863, four slave states remained in the Union. These were Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware. The 13th Amendment to the Constitution made slavery illegal in all the states in 1865.
Five, if you count West Virginia as a state ( in 1860 it was still part of Virginia, but broke away from the Confederacy and joined the Union. In 1863, it became an offical US state). The slave states or Border States were Maryland, Delaware, Kentucky, Misssouri, and West Virginia
Delaware remained loyal to the Union. Maryland might have seceded had Lincoln not placed Federal troops around the state legislature, but the state remained in the Union. Kentucky did not secede but could not entirely be said to be loyal to the Union. It was officially neutral. About twice as many regiments from Kentucky joined the Confederacy as joined the Union, but it is likely that some Kentucky men joined with regiments from other states both north and south. Missouri was a slave state and never formally seceded. Although support for the South was strong, and a pro-Confederacy Army and legislature formed, the state remained in the Union. Estimates of the time say that Missouri was 90% for the Confederacy and 10% Union. The last one to name here was West Virginia, which was part of Virginia until several counties banded together to secede from Virginia to rejoin the Union as a new state in 1863. West Virginia never existed as a slave state, having been brought into the Union after the Emancipation Proclamation, and is therefore a tricky but incorrect answer to this question.
"Union states" typically refers to the states that remained loyal to the United States during the Civil War, opposing the Confederacy. These states, predominantly in the North, supported the federal government and its efforts to preserve the Union. The term can also broadly refer to states that are part of a unified political entity or federation.
If the state was brought into the union it would upset the balance of free and slave states.
