Críticas

"A readily assimilated case-study that illustrates very graphically the flaws in the paternalistic planters' view of slavery and the human contradictions, even in the North, of slave-ownership."--"Slavery and Abolition" ""North by South" is an engrossing book. It makes a fresh and welcome contribution to the understanding of social and political history in the nineteenth century."--"Journal of Southern History" ""North by South" deserves a place beside larger works like Robert Manson Myers's "The Children of Pride", and Malcolm Bell's "Major Butler's Legacy"."--"Alabama Review" "North by South" deserves a place beside larger works like Robert Manson Myers's "The Children of Pride," and Malcolm Bell's "Major Butler's Legacy."--"Alabama Review" A readily assimilated case-study that illustrates very graphically the flaws in the paternalistic planters' view of slavery and the human contradictions, even in the North, of slave-ownership.--"Slavery and Abolition" "North by South" is an engrossing book.

Reseña del editor

In 1823, Richard James Arnold, descendant of a Quaker family involved in the movement to abolish slavery in Rhode Island, married Louisa Gindrat of Bryan County, Georgia, and acquired a plantation called White Hall--thirteen hundred acres of rice and cotton land and sixty-eight slaves. Over the next fifty years, Arnold led two distinct, if never entirely separate lives, building through successive Georgia winters a profitable southern "paradise" rooted in human bondage, then returning each spring to his business interests and extended family in Rhode Island. Organized around a surviving plantation journal kept during two winters and one spring, "North by South" encompasses Arnold's career as a rice and cotton planter as it uncovers the increasingly difficult social and moral disguises that enabled him to move freely through two worlds.
