In this text, Joan Cashin explores the profoundly different ways
that planter men and women experienced migration from the Southern
seaboard to the antebellum Southern frontier. Migration was a
family venture in the sense that both men and women took part. But
they went to the frontier with competing agendas: many men tried to
escape the intricate kinship networks of the seaboard, while women
worked to preserve them if they could. Drawing on archival sources
and using the perspectives of several disciplines, Cashin explores
the effects of the migration experience on sex roles, the nature of
slavery, race relations and a variety of other issues.
