The Fifth Border State: Slavery, Emancipation, and the Formation of West Virginia, 1829–1872 by Scott A. MacKenzie (review)
Reluctant Race Men: Black Challenges to the Practice of Race in Nineteenth-Century America
Commonwealth of Compromise: Civil War Commemoration in Missouri
At long last the burgeoning literature on Civil War memory has reached its most vexing and elusive target: Missouri. Many historians have considered how groups of Missourians recalled their participation in the war, including especially works on Confederate guerrilla memory in the central and western portions of the state. Amy Laurel Fluker's Commonwealth of Compromise offers the first comprehensive study of Missouri's Civil War memory. She disse…

Cook is especially attentive …

Most historians have cited the South's vast expanse of land, exemplary military leadership, and the sustaining power of Confederate nationalism to explain the Confederacy's persistence through four long years of war. Michael Brem Bonner offers a different interpretation of the Confederacy's endurance, one that accounts for the political culture and political economy of the Confeder…

In a foreword article to the Civil War on the Western Border (cwwb) Web site, the Kansas City Star journalist Rick Montgomery confesses his initial ignorance of the complex, vicious, and fascinating war along the Missouri-Kansas border.
