In contrast to Thomas Jefferson's yeoman myth, Sarson's
groundbreaking analysis of the early national Upper South, Thomas
Jefferson's own home region, uncovers extensive inequality,
landlessness, and poverty, and often antagonistic relationships
between planters, yeoman, artisans, tenants, wage-workers,
indentured servants, slaves, and free blacks. With detailed
analysis of particular localities, this book explores economic and
social life across a region encompassing the tobacco-planting
regions of Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. It
simultaneously takes a cis-Atlantic approach, examining the impacts
on local life of the Revolutionary War, non-intercourse and
embargoes, the War of 1812, and the structure of the international
tobacco trade.
