General Information
By 1820 six new states had been formed – bringing the total to 23 states in the Union – including Louisiana, Indiana, Mississippi, Illinois, Alabama and Maine. Orleans Territory became the state of Louisiana in 1812, and Louisiana Territory was renamed Missouri Territory the same year. Michigan Territory spanned the northern portion of the Old Northwest Territory, north of the states of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. A new Arkansas Territory was created from the southern area of Missouri Territory in 1819.
