Covering a broad geographic scope from Virginia to South Carolina between 1820 and 1860 Jeff Forret scrutinizes relations among rural poor whites and slaves a subject previously unexplored and certainly underreported Forrets findings challenge historians longheld assumption that mutual violence and animosity characterized the two groups interactions he reveals that while poor whites and slaves sometimes experienced bouts of hostility often they worked or played in harmony and camaraderie Race Relations at the Margins is remarkable for its focus on lowerclass whites and their dealings with slaves outside the purview of the master Race and class Forret demonstrates intersected in unique ways for those at the margins of southern society challenging the belief that race created a social cohesion among whites regardless of economic status As Forret makes apparent colonialera flexibility in race relations never entirely disappeared despite the institutionalization of slavery and the growing rigidity of color lines His book offers a complex and nuanced picture of the shadowy world of slavepoor white interactions demanding a refined understanding and new appreciation of the range of interracial associations in the Old South

At the time of the Civil War roughly three out of every four southern whites did not own slaves Most of the rest owned only a few Until recently these common whites have been largely forgotten In the past few years several important studies have examined common whites in individual counties or groups of counties but they have focused on family life the economy or other specific features of the commonwhite life Common Whites Class and Culture in Antebellum North Carolina is the first comprehensive examination of these nonslaveholders and small slaveholders in over forty yearsUsing North Carolina as a case in point Bill CecilFronsman has sketched a broad portrait of the world made by this group Drawing on travelers accounts newspapers folksongs and folktales quantitative analysis of census reports and above all the common whites own words he has woven the individual threads of the culture into an indepth analysis of their world and their responses to itThis work focuses on the issues of class and culture Here CecilFronsman explores why the common whites accepted the slave system even though it worked to their disadvantage He demonstrates how the market economy of the outside world played a negligible role in their lives and how their unique traditional attitudes toward family and community evolved Finally he recounts how though most common whites supported the Confederate cause during the Civil War many of the old loyalties broke down during the war yearsThe common whites though they outnumbered the slaves and the elites make up the least studied group in the Old South This book takes us beyond the stereotypes and misconceptions to a better understanding of a group of people virtually ignored by traditional history

In the colonial and antebellum South black and white evangelicals frequently prayed sang and worshipped together Even though white evangelicals claimed spiritual fellowship with those of African descent they nonetheless emerged as the most effective defenders of racebased slaveryAs Charles Irons persuasively argues white evangelicals ideas about slavery grew directly out of their interactions with black evangelicals Set in Virginia the largest slaveholding state and the hearth of the southern evangelical movement this book draws from church records denominational newspapers slave narratives and private letters and diaries to illuminate the dynamic relationship between whites and blacks within the evangelical fold Irons reveals that when whites theorized about their moral responsibilities toward slaves they thought first of their relationships with bondmen in their own churches Thus African American evangelicals inadvertently shaped the nature of the proslavery argument When they chose which churches to join used the procedures set up for church discipline rejected colonization or built quasiindependent congregations for example black churchgoers spurred their white coreligionists to further develop the religious defense of slavery

Questions about cultural interaction between whites and enslaved blacks in the antebellum South have long aroused controversy Was there one dominant culture Two separate cultures One shared culture Were interaction and interchange between the races possibleThe essays collected here attempt to give answers and conclusions However putting these two connected cultures simultaneously into perspective offers scholars a great challenge for historians of the past generation have so vividly portrayed the slave community as one of strength and creativity that it is difficult to perceive the real effect of the slaveholders grip on black cultural life Moreover analysts of white southern culture long have tended to neglect the impact of slavesBy studying religion language moral development housing labor and music these essays bring the picture of the cultural life of the antebellum South into clearer focusCharles Joyner begins the volume with the assertion that the central theme of southern history has been racial integration Sylvia R Frey traces the dialectical process by which African and English Methodist religious traditions mixed to produce distinctively southern forms of worship Mechal Sobel analyzes slaverys effect on the moral and psychological development of whites who claimed to believe in human equality John Michael Vlach describes the variety of slave housing and building techniques Lawrence T McDonnell sees the convergence of slave and white laboringclass work experiences Bill C Malone suggests the ways by which black and white musical traditions affected each other Commentaries assess each essayists conclusions and offer suggestions for future analyses of southern cultureAt the University of Mississippi in 1991 these papers were presented at the Porter L Fortune Jr Symposium in Southern History

Over the past two decades historians have successfully disputedthe notion that American women remained wholly outside the realm of politics until the early twentieth century Still a consensus has prevailed that unlike their Northern counterparts women of the antebellum South were largely excluded from public life With this book Elizabeth Varon effectively challenges such historical assumptions Using a wide array of sources she demonstrates that throughout the antebellum period white Southern women of the slaveholding class were important actors in the public drama of politics Through their voluntary associations legislative petitionspresence at political meetings and rallies and publishedappeals Virginias elite white women lent their support to suchcontroversial reform enterprises as the temperance movement and the American Colonization Society to the electoral campaigns of the Whig and Democratic Parties to the literary defense ofslavery and to the causes of Unionism and secession Against the backdrop of increasing sectional tension Varon argues thesewomen struggled to fulfill a paradoxical mandate to act both aspartisans who boldly expressed their political views and asmediators who infused public life with the feminine virtues ofcompassion and harmony
