This book is a vivid portrait of the social, political, and economic life of the Southern colonies of British North America in the eighteenth century, before the American Revolution. It illuminates the customs, habits, and ideals of the colonial gentry, including their dress, food, education, sports, and ideas of honor and liberty. It also examines the role of slavery, the conflicts with Native Americans, and the tensions with the British authorities. Illustrated with evocative drawings, this book is a valuable source of historical and cultural knowledge.
