The role of slavery changed in Missouri from 1850 to 1870 because slavery was officially abolished in 1865, although after that there were still slaves. In the 1850's, it was still common practice to have slaves.

How did the role of slavery in Missouri change from 1840 to 1870?

Starting in the mid-1840s, decisions of the Supreme Court of Missouri became increasingly adverse to slaves bringing freedom suits. As we now know from the papers of the judges then serving, Judges William Barclay Napton and James Harvey Birch - who had been appointed to the court for life under the original constitutional scheme - were prepared to overrule the earlier cases and to hold that Missouri need not give comity to the law of the free territories. Napton and Birch seemed to be intending to end all freedom suits, to declare that Congress had no power to legislate on the subject of slavery in the territories, and to hold that the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional.
