why did maryland and delaware both allow slavery during the civil war, but were union states? Why didn't lincoln put an end to their slavers?

Yankee scum? I was born in Arizona, you idiot.
Lincoln said he would not free a single slave anywhere if the stupid Confeds would come back into the Union. The fact that they wouldn't tells you the war was ENTIRELY about slavery---because the southern states knew that slavery was doomed politically in the long run.
Don't let THOSE facts trip you up.
