Many accounts of the secession crisis overlook the sharp political conflict that took place in the Border South states of Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, and Missouri. Michael Robinson expands the scope of this crisis to show how the fate of the Border South desperately hung in the balance during the months surrounding the clash at Fort Sumter.
