Keep the border states loyal to the Union is the correct answer.
The Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 didn't include the border states like Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland and Missouri etc because the President Lincoln wanted them to be loyal to Union and didn't want to tempt them into joining the Confederacy. If they had joined Confederacy, the Union would have surrounded by enemies on all sides. So they play a key role in the victory of the Union. Abraham Lincoln once said that "I hope to have God on my side, but I must have Kentucky."
