Summary
"This book highlights the ways in which the forces of history have shaped the lives of Missouri's residents, for good and bad, over the course of 200 years of statehood. Among the key elements of the book is the centrality of race to the Missouri experience, the continuing struggle over the role of government in individual lives, the causes and consequences of the decline in agrarianism and the rise in urbanization in the 20th century, and the ways in which Missourians have dealt with challenges such as war, pandemics, economic depression, and political discord throughout the history of the state"-- Provided by publisher.
