3. It was the first important battle west of the Mississippi and the first Union general, Nathaniel Lyon, was killed at this battle. The battle started because General Lyon was trying to secure Missouri for the Union and he wanted to drive the pro-Confederate Missouri State Guard out of the state. 12,000 Confederate's and 5400 Federals fought for 6 hrs. Both sides suffered high casualties. With their commanding general dead and ammunition running low the Federals retreated and the Confederates claimed the battlefield. Although it was considered a Union defeat, historians believe it saved Missouri for the Union.
