The Upper South during this period presents a unique perspective on how free and slave labour systems coexisted and interacted during a time when slavery and free labour were moving apart both geographically and ideologically. This work examines the intertwined lives of the poor whites, slaves, and free blacks who lived and worked in this wheat-producing region along the Mason-Dixon Line in the decades preceding the Civil War. 410 0$aWorking class in American history. 606 $aSlave labor$zMaryland$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aSlavery$zMaryland$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aFreed persons$zMaryland$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aAgricultural laborers$zMaryland$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aMason-Dixon Line 615 0$aSlave labor$xHistory 615 0$aSlavery$xHistory 615 0$aFreed persons$xHistory 615 0$aAgricultural laborers$xHistory 676 $a305.5/63 700 $aGrivno$b Max L$01805999 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961434503321 996 $aGleanings of freedom$94354909 997 $aUNINA
