Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the tumultuous period of 1861 in Missouri, as the state grappled with the growing sectional tensions that would lead to the Civil War. The excerpt reveals the political landscape of the time, highlighting the anxieties and tensions surrounding the institution of slavery and the threat of secession. The narrative unfolds through the lens of a state convention called to address these momentous issues, offering a rich and detailed account of the debates, resolutions, and ultimately, the decisions that would shape the state's future.
