Explores the South's paradoxical devotion to liberty and the
practice of slavery The recipient of high praise--and considerable
debate for its provocative thesis--William J. Cooper, Jr.'s
sweeping survey of antebellum southern politics returns to print
for classroom and general use with this new paperback volume. In
Liberty and Slavery Cooper contends that southerners defined their
notions of liberty in terms of its opposite--slavery. He suggests
that a jealous guardianship of the peculiar institution unified
white southerners of differing economic, social, and religious
standing and grounded their debates on nationalism and
sectionalism, agriculture and manufacturing, territorial expansion
and Western settlement. Cooper assesses how the South's devotion to
liberty shaped its response to major legislation, judicial
decisions, and military actions, and how abolitionism, in the eyes
of white southerners, threatened the destruction of local control
and the death of liberty.
