Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent scholarship on slavery has explored the lives of enslaved people beyond the watchful eye of their masters. Building on this work and the study of space, social relations, gender, and power in the Old South, Stephanie Camp examines the everyday containment and movement of enslaved men and, especially, enslaved women. In her investigation of the movement of bodies, objects, and information, Camp extends our recognition of slave resistance into new arenas and reveals an important and hidden culture of opposition. Camp discusses the multiple dimensions to acts of resistance that might otherwise appear to be little more than fits of temper. She brings new depth to our understanding of the lives of enslaved women, whose bodies and homes were inevitably political arenas. Through Camp's insight, truancy becomes an act of pursuing personal privacy. Illegal parties ("frolics") become an expression of bodily freedom. And bondwomen who acquired printed abolitionist materials and posted them on the walls of their slave cabins (even if they could not read them) become the subtle agitators who inspire more overt acts. The culture of opposition created by enslaved women's acts of everyday resistance helped foment and sustain the more visible resistance of men in their individual acts of running away and in the collective action of slave revolts. Ultimately, Camp argues, the Civil War years saw revolutionary change that had been in the making for decades.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southern plantations are an endless source of fascination. That’s no surprise since these palatial homes are rich in history, representing a pivotal time in U.S. history that truly is “gone with the wind.” With the Civil War literally exploding all around, many of these homes were occupied either by Confederate or Union troops. Nowhere else in the south were plantations so affected by the nation’s bloodiest war than in Virginia. At times, families fled, leaving behind slaves to manage the property. There are still more than 60 plantations in Virginia today, most of them open to the public. Some have been restored, others undergoing that process. If only the walls could talk, the stories we might hear! That’s what we hope to bring into this book on The Plantations of Virginia. We’ll take the tours and talk to the guides and dig even further if there is more to discover. We hope that travelers will be enlightened before they travel to Virginia, their visits will thus be enriched, and that residents will equally love exploring this deep history of Virginia. Accompanying the text will be photographs, taken by one of the authors, showing, in all their splendor, the exteriors of these plantations, as well as areas of interest inside the buildings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the Civil War, African Americans placed poignant "information wanted" advertisements in newspapers, searching for missing family members. Inspired by the power of these ads, Heather Andrea Williams uses slave narratives, letters, interviews, public records, and diaries to guide readers back to devastating moments of family separation during slavery when people were sold away from parents, siblings, spouses, and children. Williams explores the heartbreaking stories of separation and the long, usually unsuccessful journeys toward reunification. Examining the interior lives of the enslaved and freedpeople as they tried to come to terms with great loss, Williams grounds their grief, fear, anger, longing, frustration, and hope in the history of American slavery and the domestic slave trade. Williams follows those who were separated, chronicles their searches, and documents the rare experience of reunion. She also explores the sympathy, indifference, hostility, or empathy expressed by whites about sundered black families. Williams shows how searches for family members in the post-Civil War era continue to reverberate in African American culture in the ongoing search for family history and connection across generations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Documenting the difficult class relations between women slaveholders and slave women, this study shows how class and race as well as gender shaped women's experiences and determined their identities. Drawing upon massive research in diaries, letters, memoirs, and oral histories, the author argues that the lives of antebellum southern women, enslaved and free, differed fundamentally from those of northern women and that it is not possible to understand antebellum southern women by applying models derived from New England sources.

This book was released on 2020-01-09 with total page 1716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enjoy the entire Ironwood Plantation Family Saga in one complete set. Book One: The Whistle Walk In a time where unity seems impossible, two women will forge a friendship in the fires of redemption and thrust Ironwood into a new future—where the battle for freedom has merely begun. Stolen from her home and forced into the disgrace of being sold, Ruth refuses to let go of the faith that holds her heart together. Determined to survive in her new role at Ironwood, Ruth never expects to find any common ground with the plantation owner’s wife. But when God keeps nudging her to speak up for her race and forge an unlikely friendship, she makes a dangerous choice that could cost more than she’s ready to give. Bride to a man she barely knows and bound by her secrets, Lydia is struggling to step into her new title as the mistress of Ironwood. Inspired by the fiery spirit and quiet dignity of an enslaved woman, Lydia’s eyes begin to open to the harsh realities of the world around her. But if there is ever going to be a new future for Ironwood, she will have to start with shedding her own pretenses. Book Two: Heir of Hope Emily Burns grew up an orphan, so she never expected to inherit a southern plantation. When she discovers an old diary hidden in the attic, her life becomes strangely entwined with her Civil War ancestor and she soon begins to wonder how a woman long dead can keep showing up in her dreams. Torn between her strange desire to honor Lydia's wishes and practicality, Emily cannot decide if she will keep Ironwood. Yet the house calls to her like a melancholy siren, and Emily cannot resist its tune. Resolving to stay only for a little while, and telling herself her decision has nothing at all to do with the handsome handyman helping with restorations, Emily begins to unravel the history of Ironwood – A tale of love and loss, hope and redemption. When the story seeps into her heart, Emily finds that two women separated by centuries can share the unique bonds of family ties, and that both her past and her future reside in the soul of Ironwood. ★ Note to reader: Because of the stand-alone nature of The Whistle Walk and Heir of Hope, please note there will be some redundancy in the chapters containing Lydia's diary for the box set reader. Book Three: Missing Mercy The venture ahead could leave their friendship behind. Made a safe-haven after the Civil War, Ironwood Plantation is a refuge of equality for the formerly enslaved. But twenty years and a new generation later, they have become an isolated community with little contact with the rest of the world. Mercy Carpenter is everything the world thinks she shouldn’t be. Educated and adventurous, she longs to make a life for herself beyond the beautiful prison of Ironwood. When she secretly submits an article to the Boston Globe under a man’s name and receives an enthusiastic response and an offer for employment, she’s determined to take advantage of the opportunity. But she isn’t prepared for a startling world that won’t accept her color or her gender, and her ambitions soon land her in grave danger. The privileged daughter of a plantation owner and an aspiring suffragette, Faith Harper is determined not to marry. Especially not her father’s opportunistic new business partner. She doesn’t want any man telling her what to do, least of all the annoyingly chivalrous Nolan Watson. But when Mercy goes missing, Faith will do anything to find her best friend, even if it means trusting a man she doesn’t understand. In a time where prejudices try to define them, Mercy and Faith must push the boundaries of their beliefs and trust in the God who holds the keys to freedom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Their friendship harbored a dangerous secret: Gabriel was a boy lover and more precisely, a lover of black boys... Gabriel Sinclair, a rich family's unwanted bastard, has only known poverty for most of his young life. With his unwed mother's disgrace known in their community, he only has one friend, Joshua. A black boy. Things change when Gabriel inherits an entire plantation - including its slaves. He welcomes the challenge of running the plantation but it's not easy being surrounded by beautiful black men all the time. For while Gabriel can free them from slavery, he can't free them from himself! But Gabriel's heart only belongs to Joshua. . As a wealthy man with the world at his feet, Gabriel is ready to tell Joshua he loves him. But is Joshua even interested in another boy? Joshua offers his body to Gabriel, after all, Gabriel saved him and his family from poverty. But Joshua also tells Gabriel he wants to get married and have a family of his own - things Gabriel cannot give him. But Gabriel can hope, can't he? This is Gabriel's story...from poverty to extreme wealth, from friend to lover, from plantation owner to Congress. *Gay, interracial, historical romance for mature audiences. Sample: "To put it in layman's terms, Mr. Sinclair, Mrs. Sinclair, on the death of your uncle," looking at Gabriel, "Your husband," looking at the woman, "He has willed that the plantation and all its assets automatically become the property of the oldest living male of the family. Mr. Gabriel Sinclair is that person as you, Mrs. Sinclair, have no children. "I'm the new owner, Josh; my uncle died and I'm the sole surviving male." Josh was goggle eyed, and it got even better for him. "Your whole family is to come to the plantation to live. Mother will employ your mother in the house, I will employ your father, and the kids will be educated as well."Josh couldn't take it all in, his best friend, his only white friend was going to be his savior. He knew he would do anything for Gabriel now. What he didn't realise was what the anything would entail. "We have so much to do, Josh, it would be good to be able to talk in bed as well." Josh wasn't stupid. "Will that be in between kisses and whatever else you have planned?" He was grinning and Gabriel was as well, before getting very serious. "I've never felt I could say this before, Josh, but now I can. I love you..." "I love you, Gabriel, and I'll do that as often as you want, but know I want to marry and have children."

Book excerpt: A Gentle Invitation into the Challenging Topic of Privilege The notion that some might have it better than others, for no good reason, offends our sensibilities. Yet, until we talk about privilege, we’ll never fully understand it or find our way forward. Amy Julia Becker welcomes us into her life, from the charm of her privileged southern childhood to her adult experience in the northeast, and the denials she has faced as the mother of a child with special needs. She shows how a life behind a white picket fence can restrict even as it protects, and how it can prevent us from loving our neighbors well. White Picket Fences invites us to respond to privilege with generosity, humility, and hope. It opens us to questions we are afraid to ask, so that we can walk further from fear and closer to love, in all its fragile and mysterious possibilities.

Download or read book Household Chores and Household Choices written by Kerri S. Barile and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2004-06-25 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discusses the concepts of “home,” “house,” and “household” in past societies Because archaeology seeks to understand past societies, the concepts of "home," "house," and "household" are important. Yet they can be the most elusive of ideas. Are they the space occupied by a nuclear family or by an extended one? Is it a built structure or the sum of its contents? Is it a shelter against the elements, a gendered space, or an ephemeral place tied to emotion? We somehow believe that the household is a basic unit of culture but have failed to develop a theory for understanding the diversity of households in the historic (and prehistoric) periods. In an effort to clarify these questions, this volume examines a broad range of households—a Spanish colonial rancho along the Rio Grande, Andrew Jackson's Hermitage in Tennessee, plantations in South Carolina and the Bahamas, a Colorado coal camp, a frontier Arkansas farm, a Freedman's Town eventually swallowed by Dallas, and plantations across the South—to define and theorize domestic space. The essays devolve from many disciplines, but all approach households from an archaeological perspective, looking at landscape analysis, excavations, reanalyzed collections, or archival records. Together, the essays present a body of knowledge that takes the identification, analysis, and interpretation of households far beyond current conceptions.

Book excerpt: Discover a fascinating tale of family, courage, and determination that spans years amid the Civil War Era. The unnaturally-strong son of a struggling widow learns of life, love, and more during his work on a plantation. In 1815 Charleston, South Carolina, Esther Fowler, a struggling widowed mother, catches the attention of wealthy rice planter Charles Smith and his cunning business agent, Elliot Mclean. Smith learns that the War of 1812 has ended and foresees an economic boom in the region. However, he faces a shortage of field workers for his plantation expansion plans. Smith proposes an apprenticeship for Esther's son Johnny, who exhibits remarkable strength. Reluctantly, Esther agrees, and Johnny is sent to work on Smith's Oryza Hope Plantation alongside Black slaves. Adjusting to his new surroundings proves challenging for Johnny, with language barriers, an abusive overseer named Tillitson, and the constant threat of venomous snakes. While Smith becomes preoccupied with social events and his relationship with a mulatto lover, Johnny yearns for his mother and friend Billy, with whom he once dreamt of becoming sailors. At the plantation, he encounters Boston, a knowledgeable field worker, and Binah, a rumored conjurer and the plantation's nurse. Johnny receives education from Frances, Smith's daughter, who attempts to assert her superiority but finds Johnny to be independent-minded. One day, the slaves inform Johnny that his mother and sisters have relocated to North Carolina with the help of Esther's brother-in-law. They urge Johnny to persuade his stubborn brother, Elvis, to come along, and rejoin their family. Uncertain about the validity of the message and aware of the strained relationship with Elvis, Johnny must decide whether to trust the slaves' information and embark on a challenging two-hundred-mile journey to reunite with his family or stay in an environment that will never promise safety or happiness. The story is based on actual events.
