That would be:

Maryland

Delaware

Kentucky

Missouri

West Virginia also was a member of the Union that allowed slavery. However, it was one of two new states formed during the Civil War, and is probably not the "correct" answer for this one. West Virginia Seceded from Virginia when Virginia seceded from the Union. Nevada was the other state formed during the Civil War. It separated from Utah Territory, and became a state on October 31, 1864 (8 days before the federal election) in order to ensure President Lincoln's victory.

The four slave-states that Lincoln managed to keep loyal were Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware.

District of Columbia still practised slavery (but not slave-trading) for the first few weeks of the war, though that state was never in danger of seceding.

A new slave-state was formed in mid-war - West Virginia, which broke away from Virginia and declared for the Union.
