Abstract:
This book examines slavery in both the lowcountry and the upcountry of Georgia, revealing both similarities and underlying tensions between the regions, determining race as the central factor in the ordering of the new American society. It offers a social, cultural, and political history of the racial system in Georgia and uncovers the struggles of daily life as different groups contested for power.
