American Mediterranean - Southern Slaveholders in the Age of Emancipation

Informationen zum Autor Matthew Pratt Guterl is Professor of Africana Studies and American Studies at Brown University. Zusammenfassung How did slave-owning Southerners make sense of the transformation of their world in the Civil War era? Guterl shows that they looked beyond their borders for answers and examines how the Southern elite connected—by travel, print culture, even the prospect of future conquest—with communities of New World slaveholders as they redefined their world.
