| Summary: | At the outbreak of the Civil War, the Vincentian Fathers had three houses along the Mississippi River in Missouri, two of them seminaries and the third soon to become a seminary. Missouri was a state torn by partisanship over the war. Twice, Confederate armies invaded the southeast part of the state, where two of the Vincentian seminaries were located. The present article recounts the Vincentian experience of the war in Missouri: the difficulty it posed for keeping the Vincentian rules, the hardship it worked on the seminaries, the problem the federal draft threatened for priests and seminarians, the alarm caused by invasion, and the violation at war's end of the civil liberties of priests by the state's new Drake Constitution. |
