Sample Orr During the elections of 1860, the United States was divided by decisions concerning slavery. The Missouri territory came to the United States as part of the 1803 Louisiana Purchase. The House of Representatives put forward an amendment to the admission of Missouri that would prohibit the introduction of slaves into Missouri and freeing the children of slaves at the age of 25. The Senate passed the bill admitting Missouri without the amendment, but it was rejected by the House, pushing the controversy into 1820. The Great Compromiser, Henry Clay, proposed the following elements of a sectional compromise: That Missouri be admitted to the Union as a slave state (as the population of the territory apparently desired).That slavery was to be prohibited from the new American territories in the Louisiana Purchase north of 36/30’ north latitude (the southern boundary of Missouri). States to the south of the line (the new Arkansas Territory) would decide the slavery issue for themselves. Missouri became the 24th state on August 10, 1821. The Missouri Compromise was canceled in 1854 with the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act. Missouri was in the midst of the election in 1860 for who would be the next governor. Missouri was settled by mostly southern origins, holding slaves, and committed to those political leaders for at least ten years. Claiborne Fox Jackson was the leading politician of the state of Missouri, but nearly lost to an unknown named Sample Orr. Jackson won the governor election of Missouri by nearly 8,000 votes. Sample Orr was born in Maury County, Tennessee, on November 26, 1816. In 1852 he moved his wife and children to Greene County, Missouri, where he would practice law and farm his land. Shortly after moving to Missouri his wife Patience died living him with three sons. In 1856 he married and daughter of a prominent early settlers named Emaline Dollison, having two more children.
