Book excerpt: Excerpt from Battles and Biographies of Missourians, or the Civil War Period of Our State If any here, By false intelligence or wrong surmise, Hold me a foe; If I unwittingly or in my rage Have aught committted that is hardly borne By any in this presence, I desire To reconcile me to his friendly peace. 'Tis death to me to be at enmity - I hate it, and desire all men's love. - Shakespeare. During the Civil War 487 battles were fought in the State of Missouri. Such a display of the war passion almost demands an apology to the civilized world. But the world will applaud the military activity of our people when it comprehends the conditions which alone are answerable for so much bloodshed. These conditions are unfolded in the first five chapters. Then follow seven chapters dealing distinctively with the successes and failures of the Missouri State Guards. This was a remarkable organization with a remarkable career, heretofore insufficiently distinguished by historians from Confederate troops. During the first year of the war there were practically no Confederate soldiers in Missouri. All the fighting occurred between the State Guards and the Federal troops. The Missouri State Guards marched and fought under the flag of Missouri, an ensign made of blue merino, with the coat-of-arms of the State emblazoned in gold on both sides. The purposes of the State Guards was to repel invasion and to hold the State in an attitude of armed neutrality. After the battle of Pea Ridge, the State Guards were gradually absorbed into the Southern Confederate service.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Missouri Party Struggles in the Civil War Period This resolution, Brown declared, had removed all restraints upon the opponents of slavery from discussing the subject.

Download or read book Missouri s Confederate written by Christopher Phillips and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Claiborne Fox Jackson (1806-1862) remains one of Missouri's most controversial historical figures. Elected Missouri's governor in 1860 after serving as a state legislator and Democratic party chief, Jackson was the force behind a movement for the neutral state's secession before a federal sortie exiled him from office. Although Jackson's administration was replaced by a temporary government that maintained allegiance to the Union, he led a rump assembly that drafted an ordinance of secession in October 1861 and spearheaded its acceptance by the Confederate Congress. Despite the fact that the majority of the state's populace refused to recognize the act, the Confederacy named Missouri its twelfth state the following month. A year later Jackson died in exile in Arkansas, an apparent footnote to the war that engulfed his region and that consumed him. In this first full-length study of Claiborne Fox Jackson, Christopher Phillips offers much more than a traditional biography. His extensive analysis of Jackson's rise to power through the tangle that was Missouri's antebellum politics and of Jackson's complex actions in pursuit of his state's secession complete the deeper and broader story of regional identity--one that began with a growing defense of the institution of slavery and which crystallized during and after the bitter, internecine struggle in the neutral border state during the American Civil War. Placing slavery within the realm of western democratic expansion rather than of plantation agriculture in border slave states such as Missouri, Philips argues that southern identity in the region was not born, but created. While most rural Missourians were proslavery, their "southernization" transcended such boundaries, with southern identity becoming a means by which residents sought to reestablish local jurisdiction in defiance of federal authority during and after the war. This identification, intrinsically political and thus ideological, centered--and still centers--upon the events surrounding the Civil War, whether in Missouri or elsewhere. By positioning personal and political struggles and triumphs within Missourians' shifting identity and the redefinition of their collective memory, Phillips reveals the complex process by which these once Missouri westerners became and remain Missouri southerners. Missouri's Confederate not only provides a fascinating depiction of Jackson and his world but also offers the most complete scholarly analysis of Missouri's maturing antebellum identity. Anyone with an interest in the Civil War, the American West, or the American South will find this important new biography a powerful contribution to our understanding of nineteenth-century America and the origins--as well as the legacy--of the Civil War.

Download or read book Jesse James and the Civil War in Missouri written by Robert L. Dyer and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2013-08-30 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Civil War in Missouri was a time of great confusion, violence, and destruction. Although several major battles were fought in the state between Confederate and Union forces, much of the fighting in Missouri was an ugly form of terrorism carried out by loose bands of Missouri guerrillas, by Kansas "Jayhawkers," or by marauding patrols of Union soldiers. This irregular warfare provided a training ground for people like Jesse and Frank James who, after the war, used their newly learned skills to form an outlaw band that ultimately became known all over the world. Jesse James and the Civil War in Missouri discusses the underlying causes of the Civil War as they relate to Missouri and reveals how the war helped create both the legend and the reality of Jesse James and his gang. Written in an accessible style, this valuable little book will be welcomed by anyone with an interest in the Civil War, the legend of Jesse James, or Missouri history.

This book was released on 2016-06-21 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of the Women of Missouri During the Sixties In publishing the Reminiscences of the Women of Mis souri during the Civil war, the Missouri Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy does not desire to keep alive sectional bitterness or revive memories which have lain dorm-ant for half a century. The gathering of these precious statements from the survivors of that terrible time has been a labor of love. For many years after the close of the war the whole South, our dear old state, Missouri, included, was intent upon rehabilitating itself as it were; upon accepting the new order of things, and trying to bring a new life out of the ashes of desolation; a desolation appreciated only by the brave who had cast their all in a righteous cause and lost. There was no time or thought for the things of yesterday, and as time went on, and order came out of chaos, there arose a mighty gathering of the daughters of the Southland, to band them selves together for the purpose of caring for the helpless vet erans who had worn the gray, for the rearing of monuments to the memory of the Lost Cause, and for the gathering of and preserving all the matter of historical nature.

Download or read book Jasper County Missouri in the Civil War Classic Reprint written by Ward L. Schrantz and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-18 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jasper County, Missouri, in the Civil War Partisan bands serving the south are spoken of in this volume as guerrillas. It should be understood that the word guerrilla does not carry any sense of appro brium in itself. It merely means one who is not a mem ber of a regular military organization and who carries on guerrilla warfare. Confederate officers frequently speak of the Missouri partisans as guerrillas and in some sections of the country there were federal guerrillas. For instance the Kentuckians that mortally wounded and captured Quantrill were known as Terrill's Federal Guerrillas. The word bushwhacker may or may not be used in a degratory sense. It seems to carry the sense of one who fights from ambush or concealment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Mississippi Valley in the Civil War Classic Reprint written by John Fiske and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mississippi Valley, in the Civil War After an interval of some years there was a re newed call for these lectures, and in the autumn of 1895 they were given in Sanders Theatre at Har vard University. The interest thus freshly aroused led me to prepare the present volume. It contains a great deal of material that I never put into the lectures, some of it written before 1886, some of it after. The ninth chapter, on the crowning mercy of Nashville, has been added quite lately. The present volume does not belong to the series in which I have for several years been dealing with the history of the United States. Should I ever, in the course of that work, arrive at the Civil War, it will of course be treated on a very different plan from that of this book, which is a purely military narrative, restricted in its scope, and detached from the multitude of incidents which in a general history would form its context.
