In the Emancipation Proclamation, Lincoln does not mention Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, and Missouri. These states had slaves but were not part of the Confederacy (they were not fighting against the Union). What happens to the slaves in these states?

Respuesta :

Because the states were border states between the north and south, Lincoln allowed them to keep their slaves until the amendment was passed, he didn't want these states join the confederacy because they couldn't keep their slaves
