Life and Labor in the Old South
I just started learning about the history of the history of slavery in the South. This is the first of many books I will be reading on the subject. I enjoyed reading the book...but had difficulty with many of the words and references the author used. The author was writing with a 1920s mind...and for his time he was considered the top of his field and "Progressive" but it was hard for my 21st century mind to wrap my brain around some of the things I read. I think it was a great book to introduce the topic...and it did give me a lot to think about. Issues of environmental determinism, the OLD SOUTH and the "good ole days," paternalism, and why slavery...all issues that are of interest and need to be studied.
