What events lead Arizona to become a territory?

Settlers living in Arizona always wanted to become a separate territory, not admitted as part of New Mexico. In 1862, the Southerners had withdrawn from the Union and no longer had seats in Congress to oppose Arizona as one territory. The Organic Act of 1863 was passed by Congress which provided for the boundary of Arizona and New Mexico to be at the meridian of 109°. The act became effective on 24 February and President Lincoln appointed John A. Gurley of Ohio as the first governor. Unfortunately, Gurley died the day he was to leave for AZ so Lincoln appointed John N. Goodwin, chief justice of Arizona, to take Gurley's place. The appointed officials of Arizona arrived at Navajo Springs on 29 December 1863, and formally estalished the Territory of Arizona. After a month's journey, the officials arrived at Fort Whipple, 15 miles north of Prescott, and set up a temporary territorial capital.
