Description
"The American South" takes a fresh look at major political, economic, social, and cultural developments from the founding of Jamestown in 1607, to the present day. The combined volume begins with settlement of the English colonies and takes students right through to the present. The book offers: coverage of slavery - it's origins, how it functioned as an institution, the world of slaves in the colonial era and the 19th century; and coverage of women - providing a sense of their lives and roles inside and outside of the family from the colonial era onwards.
