As part of the treaty that ended the War of 1812, the USA agreed to end the importation and use of slaves. States that used slavery however refused to recognised the right of the federal government to regulate what they perceived as strictly an internal commercial matter of the states. The conflict escalated to the point that the slaves holding states seceded to form a confederation of their own and keep their way of life. Following a short war with the Federated Republic of America, it obtained the Missouri territory.
