Chapter 6: A Growing State
Step 1. Questions
Missouri grew and expanded after the Revolutionary War. Soon a new conflict was dividing our young country. The northern states did not permit slavery, but it was legal in the southern states. Research the abolitionist movement and how it changed slavery. How did the Civil War change the way African Americans lived? How did life change for all Americans after the Civil War?

- Besides slavery, what was different about the North and the South before the Civil War?
- What did some abolitionists do to help enslaved people?
- What caused the Civil War?
- How was Missouri affected by the Civil War?
- What were the effects of Reconstruction?
- How did new inventions and industry change Missouri after the Civil War?
