Five slave states remained with the Union during the Civil War. several did not abolish slavery till eight months after the Civil War ended when the 13th Amendment was passed.

That’s right; the Emancipation Proclamation only freed the slaves in the states that seceded.

When blacks came north nearly a century later, they learned that white Northerners had less use for them than Southerners.
