The border states were both Delaware, Maryland, Missouri, West Virgina, and Kentucky, this meant that the citizens of these states could choose whether or not they wanted to free their slaves or keep them.

It meant that you were mostly neutral and sometimes one army would raid their houses just to have supplies for war so it was very hard,
