Description
During the 1840s and 1850s, a dangerous ferment afflicted the North-South border region, pitting the slave states of Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, and Missouri against the free states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. This explores the border struggle, the dramatic incidents that it comprised, and its role in the complex dynamics leading to the Civil War.
