The book "Savvy" by Ingrid Law takes place in a fictional modern-day United States, primarily in the state of Kansas. The story unfolds in present times, with occasional references to past events that provide context for the characters and their unique abilities.
The Missouri Compromise had stated that all states above the 36 30 parallel would be free, and all below it would be slave states. This had established a begrudging peace between the North and the South, which lasted until the Kansas Nebraska Act of 1854, which repealed the compromise and introduced the concept of popular sovereignty in determining whether a state would be slave or free.
