Missouri’s Confederate: Claiborne Fox Jackson and the Creation of Southern Identity in the Border West by Christopher Phillips
Requirements: .PDF reader, 1.5 Mb
Overview: 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.
