Point in case: the nation of Mayland. Mayland seceeded from the Union and from the Confederacy at the same time. Maryland did not secede at all. She remained part of the Union.
Mayland did not allow slavery.
I'm sure that would have come as a hell of a surprise to the 87,200 slaves held in the state in 1860.

I believe Frederick Douglass was a Maryland slave, as a matter of fact.

Mayland. Not Maryland.

Mayland was a nation formed from the Appalachian regions of NC and TN. Mayland seceeded from the Confederacy shortly after the Confederacy formed.
The territory was mainly a mining community, and had no slavery within its territories. The capitol was Kim's Thicket, NC.
