A Little Bit of History The Arizona Territory was an organized territory of the United States that existed between 1863 and 1912, as well as a territory of the Confederate States of America that existed officially from 1861 to 1863, when the Union territory was declared in Washington, D.C. The two territories were overlapping but not identical in boundary. As such, they played a significant role in the western campaign of the American Civil War. The Confederate territory was the scene of important battles in the western campaign of the American Civil War, primarily because it offered Confederate access to southern California, which then had a large pro-Confederate population. Union forces won a large battle in the territory in July 1862.(Taken from Wikipedia)
