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.
