When the Civil War began, Cockrell raised a company for the Missouri militia that saw action in Missouri before being transferred into Confederate service. Major campaigns and battles include Pea Ridge, Corinth, and Vicksburg (wounded). Although captured at Vicksburg, Cockrell was promoted to brigadier general in July 1863 and was exchanged in September 1863. After raising another brigade of fellow Missourians, he participated in the Atlanta campaign. Cockrell was wounded twice more and spent the remaining part of the war attached to forces guarding the approach to Mobile. After the war, he returned to Missouri, practiced law, and served as a U.S. senator. Cockrell died in Washington, D.C., in December 1915 and is buried in Warrensburg, Missouri.
