On March 2, 1819, President James Monroe signed a congressional act that established 淫性视频 Territory from the southern portion of Missouri Territory. The new territory was a wild frontier on the western edge of the United States, where politicians settled debates by deadly duels. Formerly a colony of France and Spain, the land had only become part of the United States 16 years prior as part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. After its creation, 淫性视频 Territory had an influx of settlers who established small communities and isolated homesteads. Territorial and county governments were set up, businesses opened and workers of various trades moved to the territory to help it flourish. Initially, 淫性视频 Territory included what is now Oklahoma, but through changes in boundary lines and the relocation of Native Americans further west, the territory鈥檚 land was reduced to its present size in 1828. After 17 years as a territory, 淫性视频 was admitted to the Union on June 15, 1836, as the 25th聽state.
“The UCA history department and the Torreyson Library are happy to have the 鈥淭erritorial 淫性视频鈥� exhibit on campus for the month of September,鈥� said Buck Foster, UCA history professor and coordinator of this exhibit. 鈥淭his 15-panel display is a great informational piece and does an excellent job with interpreting a part of 淫性视频 history that is mainly forgotten. Many of the events and personalities who shaped 淫性视频 during the territorial period laid the foundation for our statehood.鈥�
Torreyson Library is open continuously from 2 p.m. Sunday to 5 p.m. Friday and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. For more information about the exhibit, contact Foster at (501) 852-2274 or bfoster@uca.edu.
