密蘇里 (Missouri) 在1821年8月10日成為美國第24州
內戰持續把密蘇里分割為對立的兩個部分。雖然密蘇里仍然是聯邦的一州，但是有些人卻選擇加入南方聯盟 (Confederacy) 而為其作戰。史密斯的父親與他的救援者麥爾司法官 (Judge
Myers) 雖然對奴隸制度的看法不同，但是仍然是很好的朋友。不過到了最後，兩個人還是因為立場不同，而成為敵人。
在密蘇里建造的裝甲船，也成為密蘇里艦隊 (Missouri
Squadron) 的一部份。這些船艦更幫助聯邦阻止了支持南方聯盟軍隊與補給的前進。
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.
