What if Sterling Price's Invasion of Missouri was not defeated and ended up capturing the state for the Confederacy? Would it prolong the war some by having Lincoln divert forced from the West to combat Price and Confederate Missouri?

Well what if Price made more informed decisions and moved faster, keeping the Union from regrouping as effectively. What if he even went so far as to let his guerrilla forces do their job.Where Price's force was repeatedly defeated and suffered 50 percent casualties, both in action and through desertion?
That one?
Best,
