Explanation:

The Emancipation Proclamation (1863) only applied to enslaved people in Confederate (Southern slave holding) states that were in rebellion against the Union. It intentionally excluded the border slave states (Union-loyal slave states: Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, and later West Virginia) to avoid pushing them to join the Confederacy. Northern states had already abolished slavery, and the Western Territories had restrictions on slavery via prior acts.

Answer:

A. Border slave states
D. The Southern slave holding states
