- May 24, 1861, Union troops entered Alexandria, Virginia. During the occupation, Colonel Elmer E. Ellsworth, commander of the 11th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment—the "Fire Zouaves"—was killed while taking down a large Confederate flag from the roof of the Marshall House Inn. The flag, visible from the White House, had reportedly angered President Lincoln. As Ellsworth descended the stairs with the flag, the inn’s proprietor, James W. Jackson, shot and killed him. Jackson was immediately shot and killed in turn by Corporal Francis Brownell, one of Ellsworth’s men.

- July 5, 1861, Battle of Carthage, Missouri pitted pro-Confederate Missouri State Guard forces under Governor Claiborne Fox Jackson against a smaller but better-armed Union force led by Colonel Franz Sigel. Jackson's roughly 4,000 mostly untrained and poorly equipped men faced Sigel’s 1,100 Union troops near the town of Carthage. Though Sigel inflicted significant damage in a series of delaying actions, the sheer size of the enemy force compelled him to retreat northward to Sarcoxie. While tactically inconclusive, the battle was a political victory for the secessionist cause in Missouri, bolstering Southern sympathies and demonstrating the state's volatility early in the war.
