This book is a record of the proceedings of the 21st General Assembly of the State of Missouri after it was called into a special session by Governor Claiborne F. Jackson in May 1861. The secession of the southern states, President Lincolnâs call for troops, and the attack on Fort Sumter put the country on the cusp of civil war, and Governor Jackson believed the state should be prepared to defend itself. As the nation teetered on the brink, the assembly met to debate the future of Missouri and its relation to the federal government. The assembly's deliberations over a secession ordinance, the organization of a state militia, and the suspension of habeas corpus give a unique insight into how one state grappled with the impending crisis. The book will be of interest to anyone interested in the history of the Civil War, in particular, the state of Missouri, and the complex political and legal issues raised by secession.
