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.

Why do you think they were called border states?
The term "border states" refers to the slave-holding states that were located along the northern border of the Confederacy during the American Civil War, specifically Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware. They were called border states because they were geographically situated on the boundary between the Union and the Confederacy, and they played a crucial role in the conflict due to their strategic locations and divided loyalties. These states had significant economic and political ties to both the North and the South, making their allegiance pivotal for both sides.
