Battle of Carthage
The Battle of Carthage took place on July 5th, 1861 in Jasper County Missouri. The result of the battle was a victory for the Missouri State Guard over United States troops. This was important because not only was it one of the first battles of the Civil War, it also helped to determine Missouri's course during the Civil War as they were a Border State
