This book is about the different ways that men and women
experienced migration from the Southern seaboard to the antebellum
Southern frontier. Based upon extensive research in planter family
papers, Cashin studies how the sexes went to the frontier with
diverging agendas: men tried to escape the family, while women
tried to preserve it. On the frontier, men usually settled far from
relatives, leaving women lonely and disoriented in a strange
environment. As kinship networks broke down, sex roles changed, and
relations between men and women became more inequitable. Migration
also changed race relations, because many men abandoned
paternalistic race relations and abused their slaves. However, many
women continued to practice paternalism, and a few even sympathized
with slaves as they never had before. Drawing on rich archival
sources, Cashin examines the decision of families to migrate, the
effects of migration on planter family life, and the way old ties
were maintained and new ones formed.
