Lyon angrily declares war on Jackson’s State…

June 1861 CE

Lyon angrily declares war on Jackson’s State Guard under the command of General Sterling Price in June, despite Lincoln’s assurance to Southerners in his first inaugural address that the North would not initiate aggression.

Jackson responds by openly declaring for the Confederacy and calling for outright insurrection.

Lyon mounts a campaign to drive him from the state.
