Delaware was one of the four slave states that remained in the Union during the civil war. Lincoln was famously worried about the border states breaking away and I know that they very nearly did in the cases of Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri. But what about Delaware? Was there a danger of them seceding? How widespread was the secessionist movement there?

States apparently have the right to secede despite a Supreme Court case ruling exactly the opposite

Texas left Mexico in 1836, and seceded from the Union in 1861, so I imagine both these movements involved some of the same people. Did they think the Union had become oppressive? Were they wary of joining yet another country? Did they want to become independent once again? Also, did Lincoln treat Texas specially because both movements involved the same people?
