Not illustrated. 1879 edition. Excerpt: ... ministering at a divinely simple altar, beneath the stately forest trees, the results of their labors are now found all over Missouri and the Southern States, in the earnest, honest, sterling piety of men whose thoughts they turned towards heaven amid the smoke and carnage of carnal conflict. CHAPTER III. THE BEGINNING IN MISSOURI CAMP JACKSON, MAY 10, l86l STERLING PRICE. . /HE politics of Missouri had always been strongly I Southern. As early as 1848-9, when the North was evidently intent upon excluding the South from the territory obtained in the Mexican war -- acquired principally by the blood of Southern soldiers -- the Legislature of Missouri passed resolutions affirming the rights of the States, as interpreted by Calhoun, and pledging Missouri to "co-operate with her sister States in any measure they might adopt" against Northern encroachments. On account of his opposition to these resolutions Mr. Benton was defeated for the United States Senate; and they remained on the statute-book of Missouri unrepealed at the commencement of the war. In the last Presidential campaign, Missouri, under one of those apparent contradictions or delusions not uncommon in American politics, had given her vote for Douglas. This result was obtained chiefly through the influence of Sterling Price, who had formerly been Governor of the State, had previously represented her in Congress, and was a man of commanding influence. Price and his party were firmly attached to the Union and hoped that it'might be perpetuated with safety and honor to the South. Of the Convention called in January, 1861, not a single member was yet ready to avow the policy of secession; and Price himself, who had been returned as a Union man without opposition, was elected its...

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs a border state, Missouri was coveted by both the Union and the Confederacy at the beginning of the Civil War. Missourians took sides, with politicians trying to either keep Missouri in the Union or trying to secede and join the ranks of the Confederate States. In the end, the Show Me State remained with the Union but was given an honorary status in the Confederacy, even being represented with a star on the Confederate flag. Fighting soon erupted in the state, causing Missourian to fight Missourian-a sort of civil war within a civil war. The largest battle fought in Missouri was the Battle of Wilson's Creek, August 10, 1861, where Union forces under Nathaniel Lyon and Franz Sigel attacked Confederate forces under Ben McCulloch in the early-morning hours. While Wilson's Creek allowed the Confederates to retain control of the southwestern portion of the state, they soon retreated to Arkansas. While in Arkansas, Confederate forces made forays and raids into Missouri. Missouri troops were brigaded together and fought in both the Trans-Mississippi and Western theaters. Battles included Pea Ridge, Arkansas; Corinth, Iuka, Big Black River, and Vicksburg, Mississippi; Pleasant Hill and Jenkins' Ferry, Arkansas; New Hope Church and Allatoona, Georgia; and Franklin and Nashville, Tennessee. Major battles in Missouri during the war include Belmont, Carthage, Independence, Lexington, Little Blue River, Newtonia, Springfield, and Wilson's Creek. The following men from Missouri became generals in the Confederate Army: John S. Bowen, John B. Clark, Jr., Francis Marion Cockrell, Daniel, M. Frost, Martin E. Green, John Sappington Marmaduke, Mosby Monroe Parson, Sterling Price, Joseph O. Shelby, andJohn G. Walker. The end of the war found most of the Missourians in Alabama, where they were surrendered and paroled, eventually making their way home.
