Missouri History Resources


Today we are starting a new unit in writing and social studies that focuses on Missouri's role in United States history. There were many important historical events that happened in and around our state, and soon it will be your job to decide which event deserves its own book in the I Survived... series. Your choices are:

  • The Trail of Tears
  • Missouri's role in the Civil War 

Before we begin, you must decide which of these events you believe deserves its own book. Which had a bigger impact on history and our country? Use the following resources to help you make your decision:

The Trail of Tears

Missouri's role in the Civil War
After you have explored these resources, decide for yourself which series of events had a great significance in American history. Both are very important, but which do you think had a greater impact on the lives of Americans, then and now?
