Southern slaveholders proudly pronounced themselves orthodox Christians, who accepted responsibility for the welfare of the people who worked for them. They proclaimed that their slaves enjoyed a better and more secure life than any laboring class in the world. Now, did it not follow that the lives of laborers of all races across the world would be immeasurably improved by their enslavement? In the Old South but in no other slave society a doctrine emerged among leading clergymen, politicians, and intellectuals - 'Slavery in the Abstract', which declared enslavement the best possible condition for all labor regardless of race. They joined the Socialists, whom they studied, in believing that the free-labor system, wracked by worsening class warfare, was collapsing. A vital question: to what extent did the people of the several social classes of the South accept so extreme a doctrine? That question lies at the heart of this book.

Life in the old South has always fascinated Americans--whether in the mythical portrayals of the planter elite from fiction such as Gone With the Wind or in historical studies that look inside the slave cabin. Now Brenda E. Stevenson presents a reality far more gripping than popular legend, even as she challenges the conventional wisdom of academic historians. Life in Black and White provides a panoramic portrait of family and community life in and around Loudoun County, Virginia--weaving the fascinating personal stories of planters and slaves, of free blacks and poor-to-middling whites, into a powerful portrait of southern society from the mid-eighteenth century to the Civil War. Loudoun County and its vicinity encapsulated the full sweep of southern life. Here the region's most illustrious families--the Lees, Masons, Carters, Monroes, and Peytons--helped forge southern traditions and attitudes that became characteristic of the entire region while mingling with yeoman farmers of German, Scotch-Irish, and Irish descent, and free black families who lived alongside abolitionist Quakers and thousands of slaves. Stevenson brilliantly recounts their stories as she builds the complex picture of their intertwined lives, revealing how their combined histories guaranteed Loudon's role in important state, regional, and national events and controversies. Both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, for example, were hidden at a local plantation during the War of 1812. James Monroe wrote his famous "Doctrine" at his Loudon estate. The area also was the birthplace of celebrated fugitive slave Daniel Dangerfield, the home of John Janney, chairman of the Virginia secession convention, a center for Underground Railroad activities, and the location of John Brown's infamous 1859 raid at Harpers Ferry. In exploring the central role of the family, Brenda Stevenson offers a wealth of insight: we look into the lives of upper class women, who bore the oppressive weight of marriage and motherhood as practiced in the South and the equally burdensome roles of their husbands whose honor was tied to their ability to support and lead regardless of their personal preference; the yeoman farm family's struggle for respectability; and the marginal economic existence of free blacks and its undermining influence on their family life. Most important, Stevenson breaks new ground in her depiction of slave family life. Following the lead of historian Herbert Gutman, most scholars have accepted the idea that, like white, slaves embraced the nuclear family, both as a living reality and an ideal. Stevenson destroys this notion, showing that the harsh realities of slavery, even for those who belonged to such attentive masters as George Washington, allowed little possibility of a nuclear family. Far more important were extended kin networks and female headed households. Meticulously researched, insightful, and moving, Life in Black and White offers our most detailed portrait yet of the reality of southern life. It forever changes our understanding of family and race relations during the reign of the peculiar institution in the American South.

In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, 300,000 people or more became slaves there in all but name. Urchins were swept up from London's streets to labour in the tobacco fields, brothels were raided to provide 'breeders' for Virginia and hopeful migrants were duped into signing as indentured servants, unaware they would become chattels who could be bought, sold and gambled away. Drawing on letters, diaries, and court and government archives, the authors demonstrate that the brutalities associated with black slavery alone were perpetrated on whites throughout British rule. The trade ended with American independence but the British still tried to sell convicts in their former colonies, which prompted one of the most audacious plots in Anglo-American history. This is a saga of exploitation and cruelty spanning 170 years that has been submerged under the overwhelming memory of black slavery. White Cargo brings the brutal, uncomfortable story to the surface.

Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, University of Frankfurt (Main) (England- und Amerikastudien), course: Discourses of Slavery, 13 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Der Roman "The Known World" ist der einzige Roman von Pulitzer Preisträger Edward P. Jones, und trotzdem war er ein großer Erfolg. Er hat in der amerikanschen Gesellschaft eine erneute Diskussion losgetreten über die wenig bekannte historische Tatsache der schwarzen Sklavenhalter in den Südstaaten des 19. Jahrhunderts. Es wird die moralische und soziale Komponente des Phänomens, wie es im Roman dagestellt wird, untersucht. Ist die Sklaverei vielleicht unter einer dünnen Oberfläche farbenblind? Welche Umstände brachten Afro-Amerikaner dazu Sklaven zu halten? Welche Auswirkungen hatte diese Form der Sklaverei und unterschied sie sich überhaupt von der von Weißen ausgeübten Form? Die Arbeit zeigt anhand der Beispiele in "The Known World", dass Sklaverei in seinen Auswirkungen keine Unterschiede macht, und in seiner inhumanen zerstörerischen Kraft alle sozialen Strukturen vernichtet und in der Tat farbenblind ist.

This is a love story with a twist. Therefore it's considered a murder mystery. It contains every facet imaginable, from hilarity, to tear jerking, and finally heart wrenching. It involves everyone, from the main characters, to the parents, friends, relatives, even the innocent children. Then your interest and curiosities are tweaked so you'll want to find out the outcome of the many breathtaking situations. You'll find yourself laughing, holding your breath, shedding a tear or two, and finally being overwhelmed by it's shocking conclusion. The novel was test marketed as it was being written. Some of the suggestions given by the readers were incorporated. Many of the crucial situations that took place, were researched to give the novel credibility. The outcome of which, would actually result in real life. I enjoyed writing this novel knowing full well, because of the work and effort put into it, you'd enjoy it. I sincerely hope that you agree, making the fruit of my labors for the past three and a half years worthwhile.
