The Battle for the Border States

During the Civil War, Missouri and Kentucky—the slave-holding Border States dividing North and South—became major battlegrounds, not only for formal combat but also for violent political discord, martial law, governments in exile, and “bushwhackers”—perpetrators of guerrilla warfare that included the Missouri pro-Confederate group, Quantrill’s Raiders. Leading Civil War experts discuss the contentious region’s greater impact on the course of the war and the path to reunion and emancipation.
