Wonder what they did with their Senators in Arkansas when they ran two completely separate State governments during the Civil War?

Wasn't aware that Arkansas did that. Missouri's governor and lt.governor went south and the bill of secession never received a vote. The senators remained in Washington but there was never an election or appointment of legislators to the Confederacy. The Blair family was the power in Union Missouri at the time. Frank P Blair, Union general was part of it.

Arkansas passed an ordnance of secession.
