Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Out of the hundreds of published slave narratives,only a handful exist specific to South Carolina, and most of these are not readily available to modern readers. Edited by Susanna Ashton, this collection restores to print seven slave narratives documenting the lived realities of slavery as it existed across the Palmetto State's upcountry, midlands, and lowcountry, from plantation culture to urban servitude. First published between the late eighteenth century and the dawn of the twentieth, these richly detailed firsthand accounts present a representative cross section of slave experiences, from religious awakenings and artisan apprenticeships to sexual exploitations and harrowing escapes. In their distinctive individual voices, narrators celebrate and mourn the lives of fellow slaves, contemplate the meaning of freedom, and share insights into the social patterns and cultural controls exercised during a turbulent period in American history. Each narrative is preceded by an introduction to place its content and publication history in historical context. The volume also features an afterword surveying other significant slave narratives and related historical documents on South Carolina. I Belong to South Carolina reinserts a chorus of powerful voices of the dispossessed into South Carolina's public history, reminding us of the cruelties of the past and the need for vigilant guardianship of liberty in the present and future.

Book Synopsis Stories of the South by : K. Stephen Prince
Download or read book Stories of the South written by K. Stephen Prince and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the immediate aftermath of the Civil War, the North assumed significant power to redefine the South, imagining a region rebuilt and modeled on northern society. The white South actively resisted these efforts, battling the legal strictures of Reconstruction on the ground. Meanwhile, white southern storytellers worked to recast the South's image, romanticizing the Lost Cause and heralding the birth of a New South. Prince argues that this cultural production was as important as political competition and economic striving in turning the South and the nation away from the egalitarian promises of Reconstruction and toward Jim Crow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "South Carolina's economy was devastated by the time the Civil War ended. ...For the following ten years, South Carolina went through the most difficult period in its history. On May 15, 1865, General Gilmore issued an order declaring, that 'the people of the black race are free citizens of the United States,' whose rights must be respected accordingly. The primary purpose of the occupying military force was to ensure those rights. The story of that decade is filled with political corruption on an unbelievable scale while the State was being run by an appointed, incompetent, Legislature... To understand South Carolina today, one must know what happened during the post-war period as the freed slaves were guided into citizenship by the Freedman's Bureau. For Carolinians, the war was finally over on Tuesday, April 10, 1877, at 12 o'clock, noon, when Federal troops left the State House."--Back cover.
