Yes, it was one of the slave-states that had remained loyal to the USA, and Lincoln was keen not to upset the people of Missouri, for fear of driving into the arms of the Confederates.

What was the 34th state to join the union?

Kansas was the 34th in Jan. 1861, as a free state (no slaves) which followed the statehood of the free state of Oregon in 1859, with Iowa, Wisconsin California and Minnesota having joined before that, thus upsetting the Missouri Compromise agreement of one free state, one slave state. (The last slave state to be admitted was Texas at Number 28). With Lincoln's election this undoubtedly accelerated the Slave States' decisions to secede from the Union which soon led to the mayhem of the Civil War.

What was the last state to abolish slavery?

Texas is often considered to be the last state to have officially ended slavery on June 19th 1865, which became known as "Juneteenth."However, although Juneteenth commemorates the ending of slavery in the U.S., the state of Mississippi didn't "ratify" (to make it official) the 13th amendment until 1995. Kentucky didn't ratify until 1976. See the link below for further explanation.Note that the 13 amendment adopted on December 6, 1865, which abolished slavery, still made it illegal for anyone to own a slave in Texas, Kentucky, or Mississippi from this point onward.
