In the summer of 1862,Confederate Colonel Joseph Porter began a recruiting program behind Federallines in northeast Missouri. As the Unionist population began to become moreand more panicked by the Rebel force in its midst and it became evident thenewly-formed Missouri State Militia was stretched too thin to be in all placesat all times, the powers-that-be sought a solution.

The U.S. Government-fundedMSM had quickly reached its cap of 10,000 troops, so additional manpower couldnot be brought into the field at Federal expense. At the same time, Missouri’sexperience in footing the bill on the ill-fated Six-month Militia had provideda costly lesson to the state government and helped it realize that creatinganother such force was out of the question. A different solution to addressingthe wide-spread guerrilla problem would have to be found.

In late July 1862 theplan was unveiled. The solution was not to be had by funding a full-time forcethat would constantly be in service—instead, the solution was to create a forceof part-time citizen soldiers that would only be called up in times ofemergency, and only have to be paid during those specific times of call-up. Thesolution was the Enrolled Missouri Militia.

On July 22 Governor Gamble issued an orderdirecting Brigadier General John Schofield to organize this militia. Actingwith haste, that same day General Schofield issued his own order directingevery able bodied man in the state to report immediately to the nearestmilitary outpost to enroll and be sworn into the new militia organization.

The net effect was thattens of thousands of fence-sitting men of military age were brought into themilitary fold. At the same time, thousands of other fence-sitters that werequietly supporting the South were forced to make a decision whether to serve ina Federal unit, or to flee the state and enlist in the Confederate Army. Whilemany men did pursue the latter course of action, over 52,000 others remainedbehind to form the militia force that eventually reached 85 regiments, 16battalions, and 33 independent companies.

On average, most men inthe EMM served only a few weeks of active duty over the course of the next twoand a half years. Given the nature of the organization—which naturally includeddisloyal men, men that would not otherwise have been qualified for service, andmen that had little desire to serve—the EMM was destined for controversy.

Many of the troopscalled to duty used their positions for their own financial gain, or to settlepersonal scores with enemies (prompting occasional references to it in theUnion press as being the “Enraged Militia”). Nonetheless the Enrolled Militiadid fill a Unionist need by freeing up the MSM and other frontline U.S. troopsfor duty in the field while it conducted local patrols and garrisoned towns.

Veterans of the EMM werenot eligible for Federal pensions after the conclusion of the war.
