Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri.
The elected state leaders of Maryland would have left the Union, but the Federal government put them all in prison before they had a chance, and kept them there, without charges, and suspended the Constitutional Right of Habeus Corpus, so they could not petition for their release. Delaware, which is landlocked by Maryland, seeing this, did not attempt it. Missouri likewise would have left the Union, but prompt action by a US Army officer on the scene, Nathaniel Lyon, assisted by pro-Union militia groups of German immigrants, prevented it. Kentucky at first declared "neutrality". Military commanders on both sides outside Kentucky coveted strategic locations along the Ohio River in northern Kentucky, and the Confederates acted first, "invading" Kentucky to seize the high ground at Columbus. This forced Kentucky into the Union camp. Kentucky, Maryland and Missouri sent men to the armies of both sides, though.
Additionally, West Virginia "seceded" from the state of Virginia while the war was going on, and was set up as a "new" state in 1863. Apparently it was acceptable for part of a state to secede from its old relationship, but not for entire states to secede from the Union. East Tennessee wanted to do likewise, but was never able to.
