Class Conflict and Consensus by Vernon Burton, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

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. | Class Conflict and Consensus by Vernon Burton, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
