West of the Mississippi River, the free states included Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin.

It became known as the "Louisiana Purchase" and stretched from the mouth of the Mississippi River to Canada, including what later became the states of Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, and parts of what became Louisiana, Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Minnesota and New Mexico, as well as the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, after additional purchases, cessions and treaties.
The incorporation of the Republic of Texas into the United States of America in 1845 was called the Texas Annexation and became America's 28th state. During this period, Texas had a territory fifty percent larger than its size today. It included parts of the present states of New Mexico, Kansas, Oklahoma, Wyoming, and Colorado.
The territory that is now Oklahoma was included in the Louisiana Purchase (1803). The area came under US control after the Civil War and consisted of three parts: the east and southeast were the Indian Territory (1834), the central section the Oklahoma Territory (1890), and the thin strip north of Texas (the panhandle), which was "No Man's Land" following the Compromise of 1850 and Kansas Statehood. The panhandle's designation as Cimarron Territory in 1862 was not recognized, and it became Beaver County in the Oklahoma territory. Following the failure of the Indian state of Sequoyah in 1905, the state of Oklahoma was formed from the two territories in 1907.
