Missouri History:
Throughout the preCivil War period
and during the war, Missourians were sharply divided
in their opinions about slavery and in their
allegiances, supplying both Union and Confederate
forces with troops. However, the state itself
remained in the Union.
Historically, Missouri played a
leading role as a gateway to the West, St. Joseph
being the eastern starting point of the Pony
Express, while the much-traveled Santa Fe eastern
terminus was Franklin in 1921, Missouri; by 1832,
Independence, Missouri; and by 1845, Kansas City,
Missouri. Independence, Missouri
was the most popular "jumping off" point on the
Oregon Trail.
