At the beginning, there was an armed neutrality in Missouri. But it remained within the Union.
Kentucky was competed-for by both sides, and Braxton Bragg installed a Confederate government there when he invaded, but it didn't last. Kentucky was officially neutral throughout the war.
Maryland looked as though it might hold the balance of power, but Lincoln acted quickly (and illegally) to jail the Southern sympathizers in the state government, and so Maryland too stayed in the Union.
