THE WILD WEST HISTORY

Arizona Territory

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 from 1861 to 1865. 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.
