Missouri

Missouri was the 24th state admitted to the United States. It was admitted as a slave-state, which proved pivotal in the country's later history. When the South seceded, Missouri did not vote to secede with it. The loyalties of the people were split, and military conflict in the state prevented it from successfully joining the South. Slavery was legal in Missouri until the 13 Amendment was ratified on Dec 6, 1865.

Missouri in Southern Victory
Missouri's boundaries were expanded in 1917 when the northern area of the Confederate state of Arkansas was annexed at the end of the Great War by the victorious United States. Years later, this territory became a casus belli for the Second Great War.

Throughout its history, the population of Missouri was divided in its loyalties, with a sizable portion of the state having pro-Confederate sympathies. Rioting, sabotage, bushwhacking and minor revolts broke out during the Second Mexican War, the Great War and the Second Great War. By the Second Great War Missouri still had some stubborn Confederate sympathizers. C.S raiders would also frequently sneak up into Missouri from Arkansas.

Missouri in Worldwar
