The Indian alliance, so assiduously sought by the Southern Confederacy and so laboriously built up, soon
revealed itself to be most unstable. Direct and unmistakable signs of its instability appeared in connection
with the first real military test to which it was subjected, the Battle of Pea Ridge or Elkhorn, as it is better
known in the South, the battle that stands out in the history of the War of Secession as being the most decisive
victory to date of the Union forces in the West and as marking the turning point in the political relationship of
the State of Missouri with the Confederate government.
