During the American Civil War, Delaware was just as divided as the rest of the nation. While being home to
abolitionists, Underground Railroad conductors, and many volunteers, Delaware was also a border state and resisted the
final termination of slavery. Harold Hancock discusses Delaware’s political climate during the Civil War and the social
and economic impact of the war on the First State.
