The decision created an outrage in the North, where abolitionists believed slavery should be eradicated in the country. The divide between North and South over slavery grew and culminated in the secession of southern states from the Union and the creation of the Confederate States of America.

This act was a catalyst to the Civil War, since it reversed the Missouri Compromise and allowed slavery in the remainder of the original areas of the Louisiana Purchase. This created a balance of power, which shifted in the government and across the land.

The August 25, 1863, orders required that “all persons” living in Jackson, Cass, Bates, and northern Vernon counties “remove from their present places of residence.” This order was created as an attempt to control the Confederates during the Civil War.
