TY - GEN T1 - A Union Indivisible : Secession and the Politics of Slavery in the Border South. T2 - Civil War America Ser. A1 - Robinson, Michael D. LA - English PP - Chapel Hill PB - University of North Carolina Press YR - 2017 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_eba_on1007061903 AB - "Michael Robinson challenges the previously held notions on the dichotomy between the free labor North and the slaveholding South. An examination of the Border South states of Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, and Missouri--all of which ultimately elected to remain in the Union--reveals that this decision was contingent, contentious, and not nearly as straightforward as most scholarship has acknowledged. Robinson provides a more thorough examination of the secession crisis in these four Border South states, shedding light onto the border southerners' varied and often contradictory responses to the crisis of the Union"-- OP - 311 CN - E459 .R58 2017eb SN - 9781469633800 SN - 1469633809 SN - 9781469633794 SN - 1469633795 SN - 9781469633787 SN - 1469633787 KW - Secession : Southern States.
