This collection of primary documents and previously published
essays introduces students to the principal themes in recent
scholarship on the social and cultural history of the Old South.
The twelve essays cover a variety of topics including the relative
modernity of the Old South, the proslavery defense of servitude,
gender relations, southern honor and violence, the slave trade, the
slaves' economy and community, and the histories of southern women
- both black and white. The documents - including court cases,
personal letters, diaries, travel accounts, newspaper stories,
advertisements, and slave narratives - have been drawn directly
from the essay sources in order to illustrate how historians
construct arguments. Smith provides a detailed main introduction to
the collection to help students situate the readings and documents
within the larger context of the antebellum South. In addition,
there are brief introductions to each document and essay, study
questions, suggestions for further reading, a map, and a chronology
of significant events.
