Because they were in the Upper South (Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, Delaware).
It was possible to see that pro-slavery sentiment intensified as you moved South. For years, slaves had dreaded being sold 'down the river', meaning in the Lower Mississippi, where there was alwaysgreater brutality.
It was these Southernmost states that seceded first.
Next-up was the Middle South, where they did not secede until after Fort Sumter, and Lincoln's notional declaration of war by appealing for volunteer troops.
The Upper South was close to seceding, but narrowly voted against it. Even then, Lincoln had trouble keeping them onside. When he issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which turned the war into an official crusade against slavery, he took care to exclude the Border States from its provisions. To the disgust of the Abolitionists, he allowed them to practise slavery until the end of the war.
