Synopsis:
In this innovative book, Kyle Sinisi explores a little-known chapter in the history of American politics―the struggle between states and the federal government over the costs of fighting the Civil War. At stake was the disposition of some 8 million.
Focusing on Kansas, Kentucky, and Missouri, Sinisi explores the process by which states were reimbursed by Washington in the most expensive intergovernmental contact of the 19th century. Recasting our understanding of governance, he shows that traditional sources of influence―courts and political parties―were less important in settling claims than adjutants general and private agents who fought for cash bonanzas. These power brokers helped shape the federal bureaucracy―and the process of state building.
About the Author: Kyle S. Sinisi, co-editor of Warm Ashes: Essays in Southern History at the Dawn of the 21st Century, is Associate Professor of History at The Citadel.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. In this innovative book, Kyle Sinisi explores a little known chapter in the history of American government in the second half of the nineteenth century -- the struggle between states and the federal government over the costs of fighting the Civil War. At stake was the disposition of some $468 million. Focusing on Kansas, Kentucky, and Missouri, Sinisi explores the process by which states were reimbursed by Washington for their costs incurred during the War -- the most sustained and expensive inter-governmental contact during the late nineteenth century. Drawing on a wealth of evidence, he reveals new dimensions to the common understanding of governance. He shows that traditional sources for power, money, and benefits -- courts and political parties -- were less important in settling Civil War claims than was an ever-changing group of adjutants general and private agents who fought for cash bonanzas. Working in the culture of small state governments, these power brokers helped shape the modern federal bureaucracy -- and were instrumental in the process of state-building. In this revealing analysis of the dynamics of state-federal relations during one of the nation's most turbulent periods, Sinisi sheds valuable new light on the sources of modern political systems in America.
