	Claiborne Fox Jackson (1806-1862)
		Claiborne Fox Jackson was born on April 4, 1806, in Fleming Co., Kentucky, to Dempsey Jackson and Mary Pickett.
		Jackson practiced law, and for twelve years he was a member of the legislature, was Speaker of the House for one term (184446), was one of the originators of the present banking-house system of Missouri, and for several years was bank-commissioner.
		Jackson took the latter as his mandate and battle cry and used it to articulate a particular Missouri identity, one that was explicitly proslavery and that located the state on the Southern side.

	Missouri’s Confederate; Claiborne Fox Jackson and the Creation of Southern Identity in the Border West

	Meeting at the Planters Hotel
		Jackson and Price certainly would have liked to have bought more time for the Missouri State Guard to organize, but one of Lyon’s rock-ribbed demands was the immediate dispersion of the Guard.
		Jackson and Price were accompanied by Col. Thomas L. Snead, then an Aid of the Governor, afterward Acting Adjutant-General of the Missouri State Guards, Chief of Staff of the Army of the West, and a member of the Confederate Congress.
		Jackson, who was a light, facile politician, used to moving public assemblies which were already of his mind, had but little to say in the hours of intense parley, but interjected from time to time with parrot-like reiteration, that the United States troops must leave the State and not enter it.
