An incomparably rich source of period information, the second volume of The Southern Debate over Slavery offers a representative and extraordinary sampling of the thousands of petitions about issues of race and slavery that southerners submitted to county courts between the American Revolution and Civil War. These petitions, filed by slaveholders and nonslaveholders, slaves and free blacks, women and men, abolitionists and staunch defenders of slavery, constitute a uniquely important primary source. The collection records with great immediacy and minute detail the dynamics and legal restrictions that shaped southern society.

reviewed The Southern Debate over Slavery, Volume 2: Petitions to Southern County Courts, 1775-1867 on April 19, 2017 The Southern Debate over Slavery, Volume 2: Petitions to Southern County Courts, 1775-1867
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.
