What Confederate General Joseph Johnston's plan for controlling Missouri?
Confederate President Jefferson Davis promised in his speech in December 1862 to capture the border state of Missouri. This objective became the main goal of General Johnston when he was assigned to command the Western Department. The Union obstacle to bring Missouri into the Confederacy was the army of Union General US Grant. His forces lay east of the Mississippi River and divided Confederate armies west, south and east of him. Johnston's plan was to defeat Grant by using troops from Vicksburg and the Trans-Mississippi Department and his own, to advance on Grant from two directions and defeat him. If that could be accomplished, he believed the way would be open for Confederate General Holmes to advance into Missouri. Missouri being a slave owning border state was filled with Southern sympathizers, including its former governor. Controlling Missouri and controlling the Mississippi River city of St. Louis would cripple Union war efforts in the West immensely.
