Good Question but Missouri was not officially a slave state during the Civil War it is classified as a border state and as such was not committed to either side. Though the entire state was ravaged by the War it was evenly split down the middle the North of the State traditionally supported the Northern cause of freedom and the Southern part of the state traditionally supported the Southern way of life and as such was a supporter of slavery.
