Missouri voted to leave the union but union troops stormed the state capital and installed a pro union government to insure they remained with the union. Prior to the Emancipation Proclamation captured slaves were returned to their masters in Missouri, Kentucky, Delaware and Maryland and in fact there are records of the Union Army conducting slave auctions in the border states.

Basically it was Lincolns way of staying in control but there was a lot of controversy because technically Lincoln did not have the right to do this, it was only legislative and a judicial power.
