Excerpt from The Civil Government of the United States and the State of Missouri: And the History of Missouri 1. Reason for Government. - The Declaration of Independence proclaimed that all men are endowed by their Creator with certain "unalienable rights," or rights that can not be taken from them, and that "among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," and "that to secure these rights governments are instituted among men." This is the reason for government. Government is the result of investing certain officers with authority to protect the people in their right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Without government, life would be insecure, liberty uncertain, property valueless, and the varied pursuits of industry impossible. All civilized people have had government in some form, and the better they have become the more firmly established have been their governments. 2. Forms of Government.

During the Civil War, the western front was the scene of some of that conflictï¿1/2s bloodiest and most barbaric encounters as Union raiders and Confederate guerrillas pursued each other from farm to farm with equal disregard for civilian casualties. Historical accounts of these events overwhelmingly favor the victorious Union standpoint, characterizing the Southern fighters as wanton, unprincipled savages. But in fact, as the author, himself a descendant of Union soldiers, discovered, the bushwhackersï¿1/2 violent reactions were understandable, given the reign of terror they endured as a result of Lincolnï¿1/2s total war in the West. In reexamining many of the long-held historical assumptions about this period, Gilmore discusses President Lincolnï¿1/2s utmost desire to keep Missouri in the Union by any and all means. As early as 1858, Kansan and Union troops carried out unbridled confiscation or destruction of Missouri private property, until the state became known as "the burnt region." These outrages escalated to include martial law throughout Missouri and finally the infamous General Orders Number 11 of September 1863 in which Union general Thomas Ewing, federal commander of the region, ordered the deportation of the entire population of the border counties. It is no wonder that, faced with the loss of their farms and their livelihoods, Missourians struck back with equal force.
