Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

A study of white tradespeople in the pre-Civil War South. It highlights the complex world and lives of a nearly hidden population marginalized by a growing slave system, and demonstrates that the appearance of solidarity in the white antebellum South was false.

Reseña del editor:

Documenting, among other features, how the hegemony of slavery thwarted efforts to organize a white working class in the South prior to the Civil War, Gillespie (history, Wake Forest U.) explains how skilled free laborers in Georgia did not fit into a defined social class as did their northern counterparts. She highlights the complex world and lives of the population marginalized by the growing slave system and shows that the appearance of race solidarity was undermined by strong class conflicts.
