Book Description
One hundred and fifty years after Kansas was admitted to the Union, we still find ourselves fascinated by the specter of "Bleeding Kansas" and the violence that preceded the American Civil War by five years. Although ample attention has been devoted to understanding why territorial violence broke out in Kansas in 1856, of equal concern but less illuminated is the question of why government, both local and national, allowed the violence to continue unstanched for so long. This question is fundamentally about governance-its existence, exercise, limits, and continuance-and its study has ramifications for understanding both Kansas events and why the American experiment in government failed in 1861. In addition, the book also sheds light on the nature of democracy, the challenges of implanting it in distant environs, the necessity of cooperation at the various levels of government, and the value of strong leadership. To Govern the Devil in Hell uses the prism of governance to investigate what went wrong in territorial Kansas. From the first elections in late 1854 and early 1855, local government was tarnished with cries of illegitimacy that territorial officials could not ameliorate. Soon after, a shadow government was created which further impeded local management of territorial challenges. Ultimately, this book addresses why Presidents Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan failed to act, what hindered Congress from stepping into the void, and why and how the lack of effective governance harmed Kansas and later the United States.

Book Description
Excerpt from Speech of the Hon. George S. Boutwell, of Massachusetts, Upon the "Bill to Guarantee to Certain States Whose Governments Have Been Usurped or Overthrown, a Republican Form of Government" Delivered in the House of Representatives; May 4, 1864 He has often been frowned on by circumstances, but he has, in all the emergencies of his life, risen superior to the attacks of enemies and even sustained himself against the assaults of fortune. What ever other men may think, ito is my firm belief, even in the presence of what seems to be a temporary disaster in military operations in Louisiana, that General Banks will do his duty to the country and redeem the territory west of the Mississippi river from the thraldom of the rebellion.
