Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the guidance of Joseph Reid Anderson, the Tredegar Iron Works in Richmond - the largest iron manufacturer in the Confederacy - reflected, and to an important degree shaped, the fortunes of the South. Mr. Dew traces in detail the history of the company from 1859-67. Dependence on the North for raw materials and skilled labor, increasing competition from Yankee manufacturers in the Southern iron market, and the Tredegar owners' growing antagonism toward the North are the dominant themes of the prewar chapters. Secession , which the Richmond industrialists desired and encouraged, made Tredegar production crucial to the South but also brought crippling shortages of strategic materials. The book outlines the dramatic expansion of the company's activities as it attempted, with government aid, to overcome these deficiencies. Production successes and failures and their influence on Confederate military fortunes, efforts to correct labor shortages, the condition of slave and free industrial workers during the war, and the owners' attempts to maximize profits in the face of galloping inflation are all examined. The final chapter on the war years traces the decline in military production as the Tredegar management funneled increasing amounts of iron to private consumers and the Southern industrial economy disintegrated. Of both human and historical interest is Mr. Dew's account of successful efforts by Anderson and his associates to secure pardons, from the President and capital from Northern industrialists in order to reclaim and rebuild the Tredegar. -- Publisher.

Download or read book The Reinvention of Atlantic Slavery written by Daniel B. Rood and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-14 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period of the "second slavery" was marked by geographic expansion of zones of slavery into the Upper US South, Cuba and Brazil and chronological expansion into the industrial age.As The Reinvention of Atlantic Slavery shows, ambitious planters throughout the Greater Caribbean hired a transnational group of chemists, engineers, and other "plantation experts" to assist them in adapting industrial technologies to suit their "tropical" needs and increase profitability. Not only were technologies reinvented so as to keep manufacturing processes local but slaveholders' adaptation of new racial ideologies also shaped their particular usage of new machines. Finally, these businessmen forged a new set of relationships with one another in order to sidestep the financial dominance of Great Britain and the northeastern United States. In addition to promoting new forms of mechanization, the technical experts depended on the know-how of slaves alongside whom they worked. Bondspeople with industrial craft skills played key roles in the development of new production processes and technologies like sugar mills. While the very existence of such skilled slaves contradicted prevailing racial ideologies and allowed black people to wield power in their own interest, their contributions grew the slave economies of Cuba, Brazil, and the Upper South. Together reform-minded planters, technical experts, and enslaved people modernized sugar plantations in Louisiana and Cuba; brought together rural Virginia wheat planters and industrial flour-millers in Richmond with the coffee-planting system of southeastern Brazil; and enabled engineers and iron-makers in Virginia to collaborate with railroad and sugar entrepreneurs in Cuba. Through his examination of the creation of these industrial bodies of knowledge, Daniel B. Rood demonstrates the deepening dependence of the Atlantic economy on forced labor after a few revolutionary decades in which it seemed the institution of slavery might be destroyed. The reinvention of this plantation world in the 1840s and 1850s brought a renewed movement in the 1860s, especially from enslaved people themselves in the United States and Cuba, to end chattel slavery. This account of capitalism, technology, and slavery offers new perspectives on the nineteenth-century Americas.
