About
about the project
The Missouri Compromise of 1820 admitted Missouri into the Union as a slave-holding state and limited slavery in the remaining unsettled Western Territory. The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 repealed the Compromise allowing citizens of future states to decide the issue of slavery in their state by vote – the doctrine of Popular Sovereignty. These two congressional acts set the stage for Missouri’s role in the expansion of slavery in the West. By the Civil War’s end Missouri would be the third most fought over state after Virginia and Tennessee. The Missouri’s Civil War Website examines the pre-war causes and conflict, significant events within the state during the first year of the War, profiles of the reenactors who keep the history alive, and the importance of preserving Missouri’s Civil War History.
