Additional Information |
N/A On March 22, 1913, Governor Elliot Major signed the bill into law, and made the Oliver flag the official state flag of Missouri. (ref: sos.mo.gov, The Missouri State Flag) MIssouri was annexed to the United States with the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. The Territory of Missouri, originally called the Territory of Louisiana until Louisiana statehood in 1812, was an incorporated territory of the United States from 1812-1821. It was admitted to the Union as the 24th state in 1821 under the "Missouri Compromise", which allowed Missouri to enter the Union as a slave state and Maine as a free state, keeping the balance of slave and free states with equal representation in Congress. Although Missouri was allowed to enter as a slave state, the remaining portion of the Louisiana Purchase area north of the 36° 30¢ line was declared to be free of slavery. During the Civil War however, Missouri was a split state with two state governments; one seceded and joined the Confederacy in 1861, and the other remained loyal to the Union.
