Excerpt from Journal of the Missouri State Convention, Held in Jefferson City, June, 1863 From this point of your action the spirit of the rebellion in the State may be said to be broken. That there are those who still cherish animosity against the Federal and State Government 1 um sure, and that there are those who cordially hate Union men I have occasion to know; that this spirit will exhibit itself in occasional outrages and in the collection of bands of outlaws, I do not doubt. But I think there will be no organ ised force of rebels, of any magnitude, again assembled in the State. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
