General Order No. 11 is the title of a Union Army directive issued during the American Civil War on August 25, 1863, forcing the abandonment of rural areas in four counties in western Missouri. The order, issued by Union General Thomas Ewing, Jr., affected all rural residents regardless of their allegiance. Those who could prove their loyalty to the Union were permitted to stay in the affected area, but had to leave their farms and move to communities near military outposts (see villagization). Those who could not do so had to vacate the area altogether.

  • General Order No. 11 is the title of a Union Army directive issued during the American Civil War on August 25, 1863, forcing the abandonment of rural areas in four counties in western Missouri. The order, issued by Union General Thomas Ewing, Jr., affected all rural residents regardless of their allegiance. Those who could prove their loyalty to the Union were permitted to stay in the affected area, but had to leave their farms and move to communities near military outposts (see villagization). Those who could not do so had to vacate the area altogether. While intended to deprive pro-Confederate guerrillas of material support from the rural countryside, the severity of the Order's provisions and the nature of its enforcement alienated vast numbers of civilians, and ultimately led to conditions in which guerrillas were given greater support and access to supplies than before. It was repealed in January 1864, as a new general took command of Union forces in the region. (en)
  • La Orden General No. 11 es el título de una directiva del Ejército de la Unión emitida durante la Guerra de Secesión estadounidense el 25 de agosto de 1863, que obligaba a la evacuación de áreas rurales en cuatro condados en el oeste de Misuri. La orden, emitida por el general de la Unión Thomas Ewing, Jr., afectó a todos los residentes rurales independientemente de su lealtad. A quienes pudieron demostrar su lealtad a la Unión se les permitió permanecer en el área afectada, pero tuvieron que abandonar sus granjas y trasladarse a comunidades cercanas a los puestos de avanzada militares. Aquellos que no pudieron hacerlo tuvieron que abandonar el área por completo. Si bien se pretendía privar a las guerrillas confederadas del apoyo material del campo, la severidad de las disposiciones de la Orden y la naturaleza de su aplicación alienaron a un gran número de civiles y, en última instancia, condujeron a condiciones en las que las guerrillas recibieron mayor apoyo y acceso a suministros. que antes. Fue derogado en enero de 1864, cuando un nuevo general tomó el mando de las fuerzas de la Unión en la región.​ Más de 140 años después, las ciudades afectadas por la Orden General No. 11 aún están menos desarrolladas que sus vecinos.​ (es)
