Every state in the North outlawed slavery by 1804, they didn't need to free any slaves in the North - just crossing state lines or Federal force's lines freed slaves from the south. Pick up a history book, reading can be fun, and can make you correct on the internet.

The Union included five slave states who did not secede: Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri and West Virginia
