Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set against the backdrop of 18th and 19th-century Southampton County, the book explores the complex social fabric shaped by Native Americans, whites, free blacks, and slaves within a cotton and peanut plantation economy. Key historical events, such as the 1818 cotton crop devastation and Nat Turner's 1831 insurrection, significantly influenced the region's culture and U.S. domestic policy. This pictorial history uniquely highlights the county's diverse communities from the late 19th to early 20th centuries, offering a comprehensive visual narrative of its past.
