New Masters: Northern Planters during the Civil War and
Reconstruction, analyzes the North's efforts to transform the
South, both during and after the war, into a free labor economy and
society. In this ground-breaking work, Lawrence N. Powell addresses
the role that the twenty to fifty thousand "new masters," or
northern planters, had on the post-reconstruction system. Covering
evidence of over five hundred northern planters, Powell asserts
that northern emigrants provided much of the capital that
hard-pressed southern planters used to stave off bankruptcy;
showing that these planters became both the catalyst that
perpetuated the plantation system of servitude and debt, as well as
became the reason behind the revitalization of the South. New
Masters deals with a variety of issues, including race relations,
Northern planters' motivations, work habits, capital investment
patterns, and the planters' gradual disillusionment as problems
mounted and profits declined.
