Scenarios about 'Missouri'
Missouri is a central U.S. state that played a pivotal role in American westward expansion and the slavery debate leading to the Civil War. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 temporarily maintained the balance between slave and free states, while its status as a border state during the conflict reflected the nation's deep divisions. In alternate history scenarios, Missouri often serves as a critical fulcrum point where different decisions about slavery, statehood, or territorial organization could dramatically alter the development of the American nation.
