Slavery and Rice Culture in Low Country Georgia, 1750-1860, Paperback / softback Book

Slavery and Rice Culture in Low Country Georgia, 1750-1860 Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Basing her account on wills, probate records, published and unpublished census data, journals, diaries, and newspapers, she supplements these traditional sources with interviews and field observations.

She thereby imparts sensitivity to her subject. Her discussion of slave life- including migration, separation of families through sale, slave breeding, diet, housing, language, and the importance of the task system to the distinctive slave culture of the lowcountry- is interesting and informed.
