Abstract
Scholars of North American borders have raised fundamental questions about the relationship between the discipline of history and the nation-state. Integrating the histories of the U.S.-Canadian and U.S.-Mexican borders while paying more attention to the limits of national power will allow them to write accounts of modern state-making that address questions important to all historians of the modern world.
