To Make a Laborers' State --Coda: That Strange Land of Shadows --Notes --IndexThis book challenges our most basic ideas about slavery and freedom in America. Instead of seeing emancipation as the beginning or the ending of the story, as most histories do, O'Donovan explores the perilous transition between these two conditions, offering a unique vision of both the enormous changes and the profound continuities in black life before and after the Civil War.ACLS Humanities E-Book.Enslaved personsGeorgiaSocial conditions19th centuryFreed personsGeorgiaHistory19th centurySlaverySocial aspectsGeorgiaHistory19th centuryEnslaved personsEmancipationUnited StatesCotton growingSocial aspectsGeorgiaHistory19th centuryPlantation lifeGeorgiaHistory19th centuryGeorgiaSocial conditions19th centuryGeorgiaHistoryCivil War, 1861-1865GeorgiaHistory1865-GeorgiaRace relationsHistory19th centuryEnslaved personsSocial conditionsFreed personsHistorySlaverySocial aspectsHistoryEnslaved personsEmancipationCotton growingSocial aspectsHistoryPlantation lifeHistory973.7/11409758O'Donovan Susan E791934MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792126603321Becoming free in the cotton South1770698UNINA
