Freedom in a Slave Society: Stories from the Antebellum South - Cambridge Studies on the American South
Shields, Johanna Nicol (University of Alabama)
This book explores the relationship between freedom and slavery in the antebellum American South, studying authors who spoke for the Southwest's educated classes but often reached national readerships. Instead of treating freedom as an abstraction, this book analyzes the practical meanings attached to liberty by people who treasured it, even as they defended slavery.
