<P> Bowling Green was occupied by the Confederates until February 1862, when General Grant moved from Missouri, through Kentucky, along the Tennessee line . Confederate Governor Johnson fled Bowling Green with the Confederate state records, headed south, and joined Confederate forces in Tennessee . After Johnson was killed fighting in the Battle of Shiloh, Richard Hawes was named Confederate governor of Kentucky . Shortly afterwards, the Provisional Confederate States Congress was adjourned on February 17, 1862, on the eve of inauguration of a permanent Congress . However, as Union occupation henceforth dominated the state, the Kentucky Confederate government, as of 1863, existed only on paper . Its representation in the permanent Confederate Congress was minimal . It was dissolved when the Civil War ended in the spring of 1865 . </P> <P> After the secession of Southern states began, the newly elected governor of Missouri Claiborne F. Jackson called upon the legislature to authorize a state constitutional convention on secession . A special election approved of the convention, and delegates to it . This Missouri Constitutional Convention voted to remain within the Union, but rejected coercion of the Southern states by the United States . </P> <P> Jackson, who was pro-Confederate, was disappointed with the outcome . He called up the state militia to their districts for annual training . Jackson had designs on the St. Louis Arsenal, and had been in secret correspondence with Confederate President Jefferson Davis to obtain artillery for the militia in St. Louis . Aware of these developments, Union Captain Nathaniel Lyon struck first, encircling the camp, and forcing the state militia to surrender . While his troops were marching the prisoners to the arsenal, a deadly riot erupted (the Camp Jackson Affair). </P> <P> These events resulted in greater Confederate support within the state among some factions . The already pro-Southern Missouri State Legislature passed the governor's military bill creating the Missouri State Guard . Governor Jackson appointed Sterling Price, who had been president of the convention, as major general of this reformed militia . Price, and Union district commander Harney, came to an agreement known as the Price--Harney Truce, which calmed tensions in the state for several weeks . After Harney was removed, and Lyon placed in charge, a meeting was held in St. Louis at the Planters' House among Lyon, his political ally Francis P. Blair, Jr., Price, and Jackson . The negotiations went nowhere . After a few fruitless hours, Lyon declared, "this means war!" Price and Jackson rapidly departed for the capital . </P>
