Which U.S. states considered secession, but didn't end up doing it? Also, why did they choose to remain in the Union, and which people were instrumental in them choosing this course of action? I was reading the Wikipedia page for Henry Winter Davis and it reads "it was largely because of him that Maryland did not secede", and I was curious if there were any similar figures in other states that were instrumental in preventing the secession of their state. Thank you :)
