Each the work of a specialist on the antebellum South, these essays address broad issues such as the slavery system, the growth of the cotton industry, and the growing sectional self-consciousness of the South. The authors' local, microcosmic approaches permit examination of subjects such as local justice, economic failure, slave marriages, and slave insurrection with an in-depth attention rarely possible in general works.Burton, Orville V. is the author of 'Class, Conflict, and Consensus Antebellum Southern Community Studies' with ISBN 9780313213106 and ISBN 0313213100.
