AbstractSummary of an article and a conference presentation about a comparison of three editions of Münch's book, Der Staat Missouri, from before (1859), immediately following (1866), and longer after (1875) the Civil War. It reveals that he continued to find Missouri one of the best places for German immigrants to settle. It also reveals that Münch, despite being an opponent of slavery and advocate for legal equality, did not perceive African Americans as socially equal.
