Im born and raised in mid missouri and i was never taught this stuff

Successful house fire😂

I don’t like the heroic/sad music for slave owners dying. Makes it sound reminiscent of the confederacy… I don’t like that at all

I'm not sure how much to believe that I didn't already know, first thing I seen was you showing KY was Northern. It was not, it was "neutral"...both sides considered it and enemy. MO had representation in Richmond AND DC. We ARE represented on the Confederate battle flag.

My family were recent immigrants in Missouri. They were farmers just outside of Hermann, MO. My grandmother’s grandmother told her that both sides raided their farm and helped themselves to whatever they wanted. While they were anti-slavery, she was not fond of how either side treated her family.

Now I Understand The Real Truth !!!! Behind The Movie ¨Alvarez Kelly¨. Alvarez Kelly Character, was based Texas Cattle Thieves the Confederates used along with their own mean to steal cattle from the Union. The Richard Widmark Character Rossiter was based On Rossner Who was commanded by Confederate Brig. General Wade Hampton The Third.

Well made, vert nice

Unfortunately quite biased in its approach, but good information sprinkled throughout. Useful.

I had a lot of outlaws, er, relatives, from the west-southwest part of Missouri. Both side of my maternal grandparents came out of that neck of the woods. Their families had traveled from eastern Kentucky/Tennessee, in search of better farmland. My great-grandpa raised prized horseflesh. Prized by outlaws, it's said, who often traveled from as far away as 300 miles for one of his ponies. He went into the phone business, in the early days of Oklahoma statehood.

Best presentation of the Pea Ridge battle that I've seen. Thanks to you for your hard work.

Really enjoyed this video but im really trying to pin point the slight accent i hear when you pronounce Missouri...your S and Rs make me suspect a Finnish background 😅 Supmalainen Sisu! 🇫🇮

I’m glad to see a video of the Trans-Mississippi theater and particularly Missouri but, this has several minor mistakes, from mispronunciation of names and places, to actual facts. None of them takes away from the overall history but are an annoyance when you’ve spent nearly a lifetime researching the war in this region. An example of the mistakes I feel should be corrected is the casualties at Carthage. It appears the writers took the casualties straight from Wikipedia without double checking. In the book The Battle of Carthage: Border War in Southwest Missouri, by David C. Hinze and Karen Farnham (1997) they give Missouri State Guard losses at 12 killed, 64 wounded and 1 missing. They do say that they are unsure if the walking wounded were counted, which could place casualties higher. This is one of only two book length accounts of the battle that I’m aware of the other being, The Battle of Carthage, Missouri: First Trans-Mississippi Conflict of the Civil War by Kenneth E. Burchett (2012). The other mistake is the location of Price’s camp on Cowskin Prairie, the video claims it to be in Arkansas but, it was in Missouri, 4 miles north of the Arkansas border and 4 miles east of Oklahoma, near present day Southwest City, in McDonald County, MO. Price would not be ran out of the state until February 1862.

Very good video! Informative and entertaining. I will watch more like this.

Your videos are great. Very well done. Thank you.

Incredible video and incredible series. As a wargamer, I love how you explained the rather unstructured OOB of the pro-Confederate troops @16:22. This and everything else is all the more valuable since there are so few books about this part of the Civil War. Thank you for your effort with this series, I imagine a lot of hours went into this!

Very well done!

An excellent description of a much misunderstood battle. Enjoyed it thoroughly

Nice presentation, the summary of the aftermath was great.

BRUUUH, THIS DESERVES MORE LOVE! Don't worry, I can get you some love right here!.... HERE IT IS !

Awesome work..Headsand shoulders above everyone else. Most have railrroad tracks going past Springfield.

You never state what started this. Lincoln had told the Missouri governor that Missouri could be neutral. Shortly afterwards, Lincoln sent union troops into St Louis and the troops killed many civilians. Lincoln already knew he needed St Louis due to the Mississippi and Missouri rivers transporting confederate supplies. The union troops then invaded the Missouri state capital. The governor and many elected officials escaped to the Ozarks. Lincoln appointed a new "non elected" governor and state officials, which is against the constitution. The governor joined Missouri into the confederacy at Neosho, Missouri, making Missouri the twelfth star on the confederate flag. Kentucky later became the thirteenth and final confederate state due to Lincoln also lying to them by saying they could be neutral. Without use of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers in Missouri, the confederacy sent supplies up the Arkansas and then the White River to Forsyth, Mo. close to Branson. The amount of supplies needed for Missouri was limited due to only small barges that could be brought up the White River. It was very difficult to transport large supplies with wagons in the ozarks of northwest Arkansas and southwest Missouri. Once Arkansas fell, Lee knew that he was screwed, and most all focus was east of the Mississippi.

FYI: The movie The Outlaw Josey Wales was about a actual Missouri guerilla named Bill Wilson. Towards the end of the movie, when asked who he is, instead of saying Josey Wales, he says Bill Wilson.

The people around Springfield were not mostly pro union as you state. They had family involuntarily on both sides. Brothers fighting brothers. The union and conferates would stop at farms and give the option to join or die. Most Ozarkians were too poor to have slaves and the ground was too rocky for plantations and wanted to stay neutral as Lincoln had said they could. After being lied to and with the Kansas/Missouri border war still in recent memory, they tended to side with the confederacy. Springfield had no choice but to be friendly with whichever side came through town. If one homestead was for one side and their neighbor was for the other, they never knew since nobody spoke of being for either, knowing that neighbors would be against neighbors.

My ancestor, Marquis (Marcus) DeLafeyette Rose was in the 4th Missouri Calvary (Union). He joined in 1862 so he was part of the railroad defense in Northern Missouri. He lived and died in Warrensburg. Thank you so much for this video! Missouri Civil War history is not as well known .

Alot these Generals is first time brought my attention.Thank you for knowledge on Civil War

There’s a fine line between being brave by leading from the front, and being foolish by failing to delegate tasks. Generals have no business personally doing reconnaissance, and to order your detail back for fear of _their_ safety is just reckless. Jackson died the same way.

Show me

Were Quantril Raiders and Bloody Bill Anderson involved in these battles?

Great video and very professional.

I think it was big strategic mistake after Pea Ridge, Glorieta Pass, ensure South California and to occupy Arizona to neglect the Trans-Mississippi theater. Funny Halleck arrived from West and instead of Fredericksburg campaign (Burnside's disaster) he should have persuaded Lincoln to increase the aid to the West! May it be Halleck Grant personal antipathy was the root case?

my kin fought in the Slaybacks for Price and Shelby.

that REBEL YELL sounding 'victory' once again; troops from MO, AR, TX & LA; all brave CONFEDERATE Warriors!

What a incredible story

Outstanding detail, (none of the others catch) I have to watch it over and over again to catch all the detail.

Hard to watch this because of the mispronounced town names by obviously not Mo. People

McCulloch won't be so lucky at the Battle of Elkhorn Tavern the following year

Very well done video! Great production and content. Commenting in the hopes you're blessed by the algorithm and to encourage future work.

Excellent

Lincoln told the Missouri governor that Missouri could stay neutral then soon invaded St. Louis. The Missouri river also at St Louis could get confederate supplies to KC and to the west which would be a serious problem for the union. The CSA ended up relying on small river boats going up the White river to SW Missouri which couldnt transport much.

Well one thing is for sure, the Confederates had the Federals, outnumbered, one of the few times in the CW. That said, the Confederates won, they held the field. Kind of like the Federals held the field at Antietam. Heavey loses both sides.

Thank You for this bit of Missouri History.

This video was really well done! I can't imagine how much effort and time it took to make this. Definitely deserves way more views.

Great video

Great video.. As always for the South in the West, something silly happens, bad luck. If those two Generals were not killed, Union would have lost this battle.

Will you continue

Fantastic videos, thank you!

i love history about my beautiful state
