It is no easy task to grasp the importance of the Border States during the American civil war. Richard H. Triebe's accurate and concise account gives an idea how important Maryland, Missouri and Kentucky were to the Lincoln administration. First and foremost the president had to keep Maryland from succeeding to prevent Washington, D. C., from becoming surrounded and cutoff from other Northern states. This was not a simple matter because Maryland was a slaveholding state with strong Southern leanings. Missouri and Kentucky were also important to keep in the Union because without them their states combined would provide a 600 mile roadblock to halt federal advances in the west. The governors of both states wished to stay neutral and warned the Federal and Confederate governments to keep their troops outside of their state's borders. Faced with these problems President Lincoln made fateful decisions which shaped the course of the war and still has historians debating his controversial tactics today. This text first appeared as a chapter in "Point Lookout Prison Camp and Hospital". By popular demand this chapter was reprinted as a standalone booklet.

Adopting a new approach to an American icon, an award-winning scholar reexamines the life of Abraham Lincoln to demonstrate how his remarkable political acumen and leadership skills evolved during the intense partisan conflict in pre-Civil War Illinois. By describing Lincoln's rise from obscurity to the presidency, William Harris shows that Lincoln's road to political success was far from easy-and that his reaction to events wasn't always wise or his racial attitudes free of prejudice. Although most scholars have labeled Lincoln a moderate, Harris reveals that he was by his own admission a conservative who revered the Founders and advocated "adherence to the old and tried." By emphasizing the conservative bent that guided Lincoln's political evolution-his background as a Henry Clay Whig, his rural ties, his cautious nature, and the racial and political realities of central Illinois-Harris provides fresh insight into Lincoln's political ideas and activities and portrays him as morally opposed to slavery but fundamentally conservative in his political strategy against it. Interweaving aspects of Lincoln's life and character that were an integral part of his rise to prominence, Harris provides in-depth coverage of Lincoln's controversial term in Congress, his re-emergence as the leader of the antislavery coalition in Illinois, and his Senate campaign against Stephen A.Douglas. He particularly describes how Lincoln organized the antislavery coalition into the Republican Party while retaining the support of its diverse elements, and sheds new light on Lincoln's ongoing efforts to bring Know Nothing nativists into the coalition without alienating ethnic groups. He also provides new information and analysis regarding Lincoln's nomination and election to the presidency, the selection of his cabinet, and his important role as president-elect during the secession crisis of 1860-1861. Challenging prevailing views, Harris portrays Lincoln as increasingly driven not so much by his own ambitions as by his antislavery sentiments and his fear for the republic in the hands of Douglas Democrats, and he shows how the unique political skills Lincoln developed in Illinois shaped his wartime leadership abilities. By doing so, he opens a window on his political ideas and influences and offers a fresh understanding of this complex figure.

The border states during the Civil War have long been ignored or misunderstood in general histories. This book corrects that oversight, explaining how many border state residents used wartime realities to redefine their politics and culture as "Southern." By studying the characteristics of those positioned along this fault line during the Civil War, the centrality of the war issue of slavery, which border residents long eschewed as being divisive, became apparent. This book explains how the process of Southernization occurred during and after the Civil Wara phenomenon largely unexplained by historians. Beyond the broader, more traditional narrative of the clash of arms, within these border slave states raged an inner civil war that shaped the military and political outcomes of the war as well as these states' cultural landscapes. Author Christopher Phillips describes how the Civil War experience in the border states served to form new loyalties and communities of identity that both deeply divided these states and distorted the meaning of the war for postwar generations.

At home in neither his native land nor his adopted contry, the unnamed narrator writes from a border state that transcends national boundaries. his letter, this novel, is a precise description of that state, of a consciousness forged by poverty and oppression. Driven by the need to confess, the narrator recounts the circumstances surrounding his murder of his wealth lover. His confession serves as a painfully sharp rendering of what it means to straddle the lines between East and West, rich and poor, and light and dark. --From publisher description.

Excerpt from Politics in the Border States: A Study of the Patterns of Political Organization, and Political Change, Common to the Border States; Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Missouri This Book is concerned with four of the Border States: Missouri, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Maryland. These four were selected because they are contiguous and are typical of the Border State region. In terms of political behavior, the Border States are interesting for their own sakes, resting as they do between North and South and thus providing something of a battleground where the two cultures vie for supremacy. However, the political patterns of the Border States are assuming a more universal significance as the South becomes more industrialized and thus takes on some of the cultural contradictions that heretofore were only to be found in the Border States. Consequently, the Border States have become an important indicator of what the future may hold in store for the South. A central purpose of this study has been to find patterns of political organization and political change that are common to the Border States and that, consequently, might have a certain universality, at least within the political environment of the United States. In some ways the Border State environment is unique. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
