Description

"Robert Pierce Forbes goes behind the scenes of the most important sectional crisis before the Civil War to reveal the high-level deal-making, diplomacy, and deception that surrounded the Missouri Crisis, including the central, unexpected role of President James Monroe. Although Missouri was allowed to join the union as a slaveholding state, the compromise in fact closed off nearly all remaining federal territory to slavery."--Jacket.
