The book provides a detailed analysis of the role and responsibility of the border states, including Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri, during the American Civil War. The author argues that these states, located between the North and South, hold a unique position of power and influence in the conflict, and have a duty to maintain peace and stability in the region. The book explores the political, economic, and social factors that contributed to the disordered condition of the country at the time, and how the border states can help to resolve these issues. Kennedy also examines the potential consequences of the war for the border states, including the impact on their economies, infrastructure, and social fabric. The Border States: Their Power and Duty in the Present Disordered Condition of the Country is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the complex dynamics of the American Civil War, and the important role played by the border states in shaping the outcome of the conflict.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
