The role the rural South and its plantation system played in the secession of the Confederate states is well established. Towers contends that we should look as closely at it's urban centers. He sheds light on the dynamics of secession, concentrating on sociopolitical shifts in the South's three largest cities: Baltimore, New Orleans and St. Louis.

"By focusing on and explaining 'the interaction between urbanization and the sectional politics of the slave South in the 1850s,' Frank Towers makes an original contribution to the historiography on the coming of the Civil War in his highlighting of the neglected story of the 'South's urban route to the Civil War.' He does so by closely examining the role of a growing white working class in reshaping the politics of the South's three largest cities, Baltimore, New Orleans, and St. Louis.... [T]his is a significant study that deserves the attention of all Civil War scholars." - Civil War History"
