Description
Documenting the difficult class family members between ladies slaveholders and slave ladies, this examine shows how class and race in addition to gender shaped ladies’s experiences and made up our minds their identities. Drawing upon massive research in diaries, letters, memoirs, and oral histories, the creator argues that the lives of antebellum southern ladies, enslaved and free, differed fundamentally from the ones of northern ladies and that it’s not conceivable to take into account antebellum southern ladies by applying models derived from New England sources.
