密苏里 (Missouri) 在1821年8月10日成为美国第24州
内战持续把密苏里分割为对立的两个部分。虽然密苏里仍然是联邦的一州，但是有些人却选择添加南方联盟 (Confederacy) 而为其作战。史密斯的父亲与他的救援者麦尔司法官 (Judge
Myers) 虽然对奴隶制度的看法不同，但是仍然是很好的朋友。不过到了最后，两个人还是因为立场不同，而成为敌人。
在密苏里建造的装甲船，也成为密苏里舰队 (Missouri
Squadron) 的一部份。这些船舰更帮助联邦阻止了支持南方联盟军队与补给的前进。
The Civil War continued to divide Missourians. Although the state remained with the Union, some of its citizens chose to fight for the Confederacy. Smith's father and his rescuer, Judge Myers, remained best friends despite their conflicting views on slavery, but the two ended up fighting on opposite sides of the war.
Ironclad ships, built in Missouri, became part of the Missouri Squadron. The vessels aided the Union in preventing the movement of Confederate troops and supplies.
