Robinson, Michael D., 'Conclusion: Pursued to the Last Extremity: Henry Winter Davis’s Republic', Union Indivisible: Secession and the Politics of Slavery in the Border South (Chapel Hill, NC , 2017; online edn, North Carolina Scholarship Online, 24 May 2018), https://doi.org/10.5149/northcarolina/9781469633787.003.0009, accessed 22 Apr. 2025.
Abstract
The Conclusion highlights some of the major themes of the book, specifically the Border South’s enduring penchant for moderate politics and the power of proslavery Unionism. It also discusses the changing direction of the Civil War by the end of 1861. Border South Unionists had built their entire argument for staying in the Union on the need to protect slavery, but by the end of 1861 the war aims of the United States were beginning to include taking bolder action against the institution of slavery. Very few white border southerners embraced this type of war, but by this point their lot had been cast with the United States.
