This important work focuses on the ways in which political culture, ideology, and governing structures have shaped political acts and public policy and illuminates one of the fundamental paradoxes of American history: although the Ashley Cooper Plan was a model of rational planning, its utopian qualities were soon undermined by the lure of profits to be had from slaveholding. Wilson argues that the "Gothic" framework of the Carolina "Fundamental Constitutions" was stripped of its original imperative of class reciprocity in the transition to slavery, which reverberates in American politics to this day"--Provided by publisher.Political cultureSouthern StatesHistoryCity planningSouthern StatesHistoryCities and townsSouthern StatesSouth CarolinaHistoryColonial period, ca. 1600-1775North CarolinaHistoryColonial period, ca. 1600-1775Southern StatesPolitics and governmentTo 1775Southern StatesSocial conditionsElectronic books.Political cultureHistory.City planningHistory.Cities and towns306.20975Wilson Thomas D.309805MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910467050003321The Ashley Cooper plan2450663UNINA
