  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.
