A state of the central United States. It was admitted as the 24th state in 82. Under Spanish control from 7'2 to 800, the area passed to the United States through the Louisiana Purchase of 803. Organized as a territory in 82, Missouri`s application for admission as a slaveholding state in 87 sparked a bitter controversy over the question of extending slavery into new territories. The Missouri Compromise of 820 provided for the admission of Maine as a free state and Missouri as a slave state in the following year. Jefferson City is the capital and St. Louis the largest city. Population, 5,37,804.
