In 1820, the territory of the United States included the original 13 states along the Atlantic coast, as well as several territories acquired through various means, such as the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. The country extended westward to the Rocky Mountains, covering vast regions that would later become states like Missouri, Arkansas, and parts of others. The Missouri Compromise was enacted in 1820 to address the balance of slave and free states as new territories were being considered for statehood. Overall, the U.S. was expanding rapidly, setting the stage for further westward expansion and conflicts over slavery.
