Title: The United States Army in the Kansas Border Troubles, 1855-1856
Description: In the first paragraph of the article, the author poses these questions: "To what extent was the army used as a peace-maintaining force and to what degree was it truly neutral? If the army was relatively impartial, how can this be explained in view of the fact that officers stationed in Kansas were of both Northern and Southern origins? A brief account of this period of military history may suggest answers to these questions". The article goes on to discuss the vital role the army played in preventing full-scale civil war in the area.
