William S. Kiser examines a fascinating series of events in which a disparate group of historical actors vied for power and control along the U.S.-Mexico border: from Union and Confederate generals and presidents, to Indigenous groups, diplomatic officials, bandits, and revolutionaries, to a Mexican president, a Mexican monarch, and a French king. Their unconventional approaches to foreign relations demonstrate the complex ways that individuals influence the course of global affairs and reveal that borderlands simultaneously enable and stifle the growth of empires. This is the first study to treat antebellum U.S. foreign policy, Civil War campaigning, the French Intervention in Mexico, Southwestern Indian Wars, South Texas Bandit Wars, and U.S. Reconstruction in a single volume, balancing U.S. and Mexican source materials to tell an important story of borderlands conflict with ramifications that are still felt in the region today."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Reconstruction (U.S. history, 1865-1877) $x Political aspects. 651 0 $a Mexican-American Border Region $x History $y 19th century. 651 0 $a Mexican-American Border Region $x Politics and government $y 19th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Political aspects. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Political aspects. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $z Mexico. 651 0 $a Mexico $x Foreign relations $z United States. 651 0 $a Confederate States of America $x Foreign relations $z Mexico. 651 0 $a Mexico $x Foreign relations $z Confederate States of America. 651 6 $a ReÌgion frontalieÌre mexicano-ameÌricaine $x Histoire $y 19e sieÌcle. 651 6 $a EÌtats-Unis $x Aspect politique. $y 1861-1865 (Guerre de SeÌcession) $x Aspect politique. 651 6 $a EÌtats-Unis $x Relations exteÌrieures $z Mexique. 651 6 $a Mexique $x Relations exteÌrieures $z EÌtats-Unis. 651 6 $a Mexique $x Relations exteÌrieures $z EÌtats confeÌdeÌreÌs d'AmeÌrique. 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a Mexico. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01211700 651 7 $a North America $z Mexican-American Border Region. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239966 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 651 7 $a United States $z Confederate States of America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205435 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9780812298147 830 0 $a America in the nineteenth century. 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240201010218.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=95D1AC84C0CF11EE81BF3A115DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
