This pathbreaking social history of the slaveholding South marks a turn in our understanding of antebellum America and the coming of the Civil War. Oakes's bracing analysis breaks the myth that slaveholders were a paternalistic aristocracy dedicated to the values of honor, race, and section. Instead they emerge as having much in common with their entrepreneurial counterparts in the North: they were committed to free-market commercialism and political democracy for white males. The Civil War was not an inevitable conflict between civilizations on different paths but the crack-up of a single system, the result of people and events.

Highly Recommend
Format: Paperback
This book helped me a lot during nursing school. It condensed the information and only highlighted the most important facts that you need to know. It was helpful in being a complementary resource for my notes and the YouTube videos I watched.
