So what about the Northern slave states of Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Kentucky, and Missouri?

They didnt secede to protect slavery and then initiate war with the United States.

If it it was about slavery, how come they weren't invaded and in ruins?

Because they didn't secede to protect slavery and initiate war with the United States.

Why was their slavery acceptable, but those other states not?

Why was any slavery acceptable?

Wow. The way you phrase the question, it almost sounds like secession was the issue, rather than slavery.

Interesting theory you have there!

You'll have to ask Lincoln. I wasn't making decisions for the Union Army back in 1861.
