The Arizona Territory
In 1863, while the Civil War was still being fought, President Lincoln signed the Organic Act, allowing Arizona to become its own territory. President Lincoln hoped that Arizona’s gold and silver discoveries would help pay for the nation’s Civil War debts. Arizona’s first governor, John N. Goodwin, set up his headquarters at Fort Whipple, near Prescott.
As soon as the Civil War fighting ended in the Arizona Territory, settler poured into the area. The Navajo and Apache peoples watched helplessly as their hunting territories were taken over by white farmers. Native Americans attacked white settlements, burned their homes, stole their cattle and sheep, and killed entire families.
The Untied States Army sent Colonel Christopher “Kit” Carson, the famous mountain man, to stop the Navajo and Apache. As a mountain men, Kit Carson had lived among the Native Americans and learned to speak their languages. He even made friends with many of them As a soldier in the United States Army, he obeyed his leaders and carried out their orders.
