Missouri gained popularity in the early 19th century, particularly during the westward expansion of the United States. The Missouri Compromise of 1820, which admitted Missouri as a slave state, played a significant role in its prominence in national politics. Additionally, the state's strategic location along the Mississippi River and its role as a gateway for westward migration contributed to its growth and importance.
