Abstract:

This book investigates how slaves experienced illness and the practice of medicine, as well as the ways in which physicians sought to understand race and sex, in the antebellum South. It shows that doctors who tried to define health and sickness for men and women, black and white, also had to contend with the realities of a slaveholding society. Slaveholders often defined slaves as healthy enough to work when the slaves considered themselves to be sick. At the same time, slaveholders wanted to protect their financial investment in the bodies of slaves and so had incentive to provide medical care for them. Slaves had their own beliefs about bodily differences and the causes of sickness as well as how to cure them, but their beliefs were seldom validated or their practices respected by slaveholders and doctors. In order to elucidate medical and lay perspectives on the political body in the antebellum old South, the book draws on evidence from a variety of sources, including medical journals and texts, physicians' diaries, and slave narratives and folklore for slaves.

Abstract:

This book offers a first-person perspective on the institution of slavery in America, providing powerful, engaging interviews from the WPA slave narrative collection that enable readers to gain a true sense of the experience of enslavement. Today’s students understandably have a hard time imagining what life for slaves more than 150 years ago was like. The best way to communicate what slaves experienced is to hear their words directly. The material in this concise single-volume work illuminates the lives of the last living generation of enslaved people in the United States—former slaves who were interviewed about their experiences in the 1930s. Based on more than 2,000 interviews, the transcriptions of these priceless interviews offer primary sources that tell a diverse and powerful picture of life under slavery. The book explores seven key topics—childhood, marriage, women, work, emancipation, runaways, and family. Through the examination of these subject areas, the interviews reveal the harsh realities of being a slave, such as how slave women were at the complete mercy of the men who operated the places where they lived, how nearly every enslaved person suffered a beating at some point in their lives, how enslaved families commonly lost relatives through sale, and how enslaved children were taken from their parents to care for the children of slaveholders. The thematic organizational format allows readers to easily access numerous excerpts about a specific topic quickly and enables comparisons between individuals in different locations or with different slaveholders to identify the commonalities and unique characteristics within the system of slavery.

Abstract:

This chapter examines how landless workers survived in an economy whose defining characteristics were scarcity and uncertainty. Unskilled and unorganized, rural free laborers faced a desperate struggle for survival; they were buffeted by seasonal and cyclical unemployment, and their nonwage economic activities were constricted by a legal system that was designed to maintain slaveholders' authority. The prospects for single women and free African Americans were particularly dim in a labor market that restricted their opportunities in favor of white men, thus limiting their options and relegating them to the margins of the rural economy. In the end, these workers were often left with the mere gleanings of freedom.

Abstract:

This entry in the Perspectives in Social History series examines the course and consequences of Reconstruction on the former Confederate states by focusing on the everyday people who lived through it. Reconstruction: People and Perspectives is a fascinating collection of essays and documents that illuminates the experiences of ordinary Americans across all levels of society in the southern United States during Reconstruction. Reconstruction: People and Perspectives describes in vivid detail the experiences of a diverse group of people caught up in the Civil War's aftermath in the South. Chapters focus on Civil War veterans, former slaveholders, farmers and city residents, Northerners in the South, and African American men and women (both those who stayed in the South and those who migrated). It also reports on groups similar studies often overlook, such as Native Americans and white women. Looking at Reconstruction from a social historian's point of view, this revealing work adds a much needed new voice to studies of the era.

Abstract:

This chapter examines how laypeople viewed the ways commonsense defined the interactions between mind and body in the cause, course, and treatment of various diseases. During the antebellum period, commonsense notions about the mind–body connection influenced ideas not only about race, sex, and class, but also about many other aspects of life such as opportunity, destiny, sexuality, marriage, and personality. Laypeople of both races preferred to define health and sickness for themselves, although slaves also had to deal with their owners' interference. Slaveholders were concerned about shamming, the deliberate invocation of illness on the part of healthy slaves to gain respite from hard labor. Slaves had very different explanations for the origins and meaning of disease than whites did, while women, especially white women, struggled to maintain the attitudes they believed would protect them and their babies from harm during pregnancy and childbirth. This chapter compares the views of white southerners and slaves when it came to mind, body, the emotions, and the external causes of illness.

Abstract:

A sharp-edged and revealing account of the transforming struggle for Southern independence and the inherent contradictions that undermined that effort. Paul Escott’s The Confederacy: The Slaveholders’ Failed Venture offers a unique and multifaceted perspective on the United States’ most pivotal and devastating conflict, examining the course of the Civil War from the perspective of the Southern elite class, who were desperate to preserve the “peculiar institution” of its slave-based economy, yet dependent on ordinary Southerners, slaves, and women to sustain the fight for them. Against the backdrop of the war’s military drama and strategic dilemmas, The Confederacy brings into sharp focus the racial, class, gender, and political conflicts that helped destabilize the Confederacy from within. Along the way, Escott shows how time and time again, the South’s political and economic elite made errors that further weakened a South already facing a Union army with greater numbers and firepower.

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on the common order for bondsmen and women to dance, act lively, and smile in the domestic slave trade. Through an analysis of the coffle, slave pen, and auction block experiences of slaves, the chapter reveals the reasons why music and dance often were incorporated into the complex system of the domestic slave trade. It examines how performing coffles functioned as public advertisements for not only planters but also those hoping to achieve planter status. It considers the manner in which these singing and dancing coffles positively promoted the institution of slavery to non-slaveholders. It shows that the coffle served as an organized transportation network of slaves to the auction block within the interstate slave trade. While slave coffle scenes represented to whites a justification of their enslavement of blacks, they represented an avenue of agency for blacks. Dance and music also publicly presented the racial hierarchy of the time.
