It played a significant role by providing troops and resources to the Confederate Army, participating in several battles, including the Battle of Pea Ridge and the Battle of Little Rock. The state also experienced significant internal conflict, with Union sympathizers and guerrilla warfare affecting local communities. By the end of the war, Arkansas was occupied by Union forces, leading to its eventual return to the Union in 1868.
The Union captured Little Rock, Arkansas, in September 1863 during the Civil War as part of their campaign to control the Mississippi River and its tributaries.

The Confederates withdrew, allowing Union troops to occupy Little Rock, which became a strategic base for Union operations in the region.
