Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed history of the state of Missouri within the wider context of American expansion after 1763, when Spain assumed authority over the region west of the Mississippi River. The text begins by introducing the first European settlements in the area, namely Ste. Genevieve (1735) and St. Louis (1764), and the influx of French settlers from the Illinois country, particularly after 1765, when the region east of the Mississippi became English territory. The author then delves into the attack on St. Louis in 1780 by an alliance of English and Native American forces, an event that underlined the complex geopolitical dynamics of the period. The book also covers the Spanish transfer of Louisiana to France in 1800, the subsequent Louisiana Purchase by the United States in 1803, and the division of the territory into five districts prior to statehood. Throughout the book, the author traces the shifting political and economic forces that shaped Missouri's early development and analyzes the interplay between French, American, and Spanish influences. By shedding light on Missouri's unique history, this book offers valuable insights into the broader narrative of American westward expansion and the formation of the United States.
