Confederate Missouri

What would be the most likely scenario where Missouri joins the Confederacy and remains in the CSA throughout the war?

It actually did secede and join the Confederacy. It was the 12th star on the Confederate flag. It was placed under Union occupation almost immediately, however.

If you are asking what if it secedes and the Confederacy maintains control of it throughout the entire war, I am not sure that is possible. It's geographic position, which isolated it from the most of the rest of the Confederacy, as well as the large pro-Union German community at St. Louis and elsewhere, would have made holding Missouri virtually impossible.
