Freedom in a Slave Society

Freedom in a Slave Society: Stories from the Antebellum South This book explores the relationship between freedom and slavery in the antebellum American South, studying authors who spoke for the Southwests 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.
