In July 1862, the Confederate territorial government withdrew to El Paso, Texas. With the approach of Union troops, it relocated to San Antonio, where it remained for the duration of the civil war. The territory continued to be represented in the Confederate States Congress, and Confederate troops continued to fight under the Arizona banner until the war ended.
The political geography of the two Arizona Territories differed in that the Confederate Arizona was approximately the southern half of the historic New Mexico Territory, while the Union-defined Arizona Territory was approximately the western half of what had been New Mexico Territory, which became the basis for present-day Arizona.

Text: "In an 8-page decision published late Friday afternoon, Superior Court Judge Kellie Johnson ruled "because the legal basis for the judgment entered in 1973 has now been overruled," she must "vacate the judgment in its entirety."
"The court finds an attempt to reconcile fifty years of legislative activity procedurally improper in the context of the motion and record before it," Johnson wrote. "While there may be legal questions the parties seek to resolve regarding Arizona statutes on abortion, those questions are not for this court to decide here."

Arizona Sentator Krysten Sinema reacts to decision to lift an injunction on all abortions
Krysten Sinema blasts judge's decision to reinstate abortions ban - except to save mother's life: Says judgment 'removes basic rights Arizona women have relied upon for over a century.'
, updated
- Superior Court Judge Kellie Johnson of Pima County released a ruling on Friday that allowed the enforcement of the law that dates back to the mid-19th century
- On Saturday, Sinema went to Twitter criticizing the decision - 'a woman's health care decisions should be between her, her family and her doctor'
- Women in the state will now be unable to get an abortion - and it would be considered illegal - except when a pregnant person's life is at risk
- The injunction was lifted a day before a new law that would ban most procedures after 15 weeks was scheduled to take effect, the news outlet reported
- Republican Arizona Attorney-General Mark Brnovich applauded the Friday ruling, an apparent win since Brnovich wanted tougher restrictions in his state
Arizona Senator (D) Krysten Sinema ripped a judge's decision to lift injunction on all abortions - except to save the life of a mother - saying it: 'removes basic rights Arizona women have relied upon for over a century.'
The decision was made by Judge Kellie Johnson of Pima county's superior court. Johnson released a ruling on Friday that allowed the enforcement of the law that dates back to the mid-19th century.
On Saturday, Sinema went to Twitter to express her frustration and criticized the decision claiming, 'a woman's health care decisions should be between her, her family and her doctor.'
Women in the state won't be able to get an abortion - it would be considered illegal - except when a pregnant person's life is at risk, The Washington Post reported.
Sinema said the decision will endanger a women's health, safety and well-being. . .
Sinema's comments comes a day after Judge Johnson's ruled that the state can enforce a ban that has been blocked for nearly 50 years, since the Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade protected abortion access nationwide, The Hill reported.
The ban was passed in the 1800s before Arizona became a state, but its enforcement was stopped after the Roe ruling in 1973.
The
Arizona judge ruled that the injunction that prevented enforcement of
the law was only issued because of Roe v. Wade, so it must be lifted
completely, the news outlet said. . ."

Arizona organized as a separate territory: Feb. 24, 1863
Arizona, formerly part of the Territory of New Mexico, was organized as a separate territory on this day in 1863. The United States had acquired the region under the terms of the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ended the Mexican-American War, and through the 1853 Gadsden Purchase.
During the Civil War, the southern slice of the territory, including Tucson, declared its independence from the United States and joined the Confederacy. In March 1862, Union troops recaptured the Confederate Territory of Arizona and returned it to the New Mexico Territory.
For a time, it appeared Arizona would someday join the Union as part of New Mexico — a plan Republicans believed would help them retain control of the Senate in the aftermath of the war. While this was supported by most New Mexicans, it did not find favor with most Arizonans.
Soon the Arizona Territory was bustling with fortune seekers. The discovery of gold in 1863 near Prescott, which became the territorial capital in 1864, and the 1877 discoveries of silver at Tombstone, near Tucson, and copper at Bisbee, attracted many of the same people who had come through Arizona in 1848 on their way to the goldfields of California. (Most people of Hispanic descent living in Arizona today immigrated to the state from Mexico after 1900.)
Emma Adams, who spent 10 days in Tucson in 1884 before traveling on, via the Central Pacific Railway, to Los Angeles, wrote: “Americans, Mexicans, Germans, Russians, Italians, Austrians, Frenchmen, Spaniards, Greeks, the Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, the African, Irishman, and Sandwich Islander are all here, being drawn to the spot by the irresistible mining influence.”
On Feb. 14, 1912, President William Howard Taft signed a bill making
Arizona the 48th state. It was the last to be admitted until the 1950s,
when Alaska and Hawaii joined the Union..."
