People like the north and the south fought so they had a battle!! I guess you are asking WHY did it happen. The Confederates heard that Fort Davidson (near Pilot Knob, MO)was protected by 1,500 Union troops and 7 guns. The Confederates had 12,000 men but not all of them had guns. So the capture of the fort looked like an easy victory that would help to re-arm their troops. The Confederates began their attack with a very minium artillery barrage and attacked with infantry and were repulsed with 1000 casualtes. That night as the Confederates rested and prepared to assault it the next day, the Union troops escaped with about 200 casualties.
