Hostilities erupted and several civilians and soldiers died when opposing forces opened fire on each other. The unfolding of events afterward drove previously undecided Missourians to join either the Union or Confederate side. Receiving near dictatorial authority from the state legislature, Governor Claiborne Fox Jackson raised a Missouri State Guard force to \"protect the State from invaders.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The War began in Missouri at the taking of Camp Jackson, and this book presents the history and context of this pivotal Civil War event.
