History

Detached from Louisiana, of which it constituted the northern part, in 1812 it took the name of Missouri and was admitted to the Union in 1821, following the compromise of Missouri. Its economy, originally based on the fur trade, agriculture and breeding, developed considerably after the advent of the railway (at the beginning of the second half of the 19th century). After the Secession war, in which Missouri remained faithful to the Union despite conflicts, in 1875 he introduced a new Constitution that abolished slavery.
