About This Book

This revealing interpretation of the black experience in the South emphasizes the evolution of slavery over time and the emergence of a rich, hybrid African American culture. From the incisive discussion on the origins of slavery in the Chesapeake colonies, John Boles embarks on an interpretation of a vast body of demographic, anthropological, and comparative scholarship to explore the character of black bondage in the American South. On such diverse issues as black population growth, the strength of the slave family, the efficiency and profitability of slavery, the diet and health care of bondsmen, the maturation of slave culture, the varieties of slave resistance, and the participation of blacks in the Civil War, Black Southerners provides a balanced and judicious treatment.

Black 
Southerners
only 
when 
white 
laborers 
were 
no 
longer 
plentiful; 
the 
Carolina
planters, 
having 
accepted 
boom-time 
slavery 
in 
Barbados, 
instant-
ly 
established 
bondage 
and 
bought 
slaves 
as 
soon 
as 
they 
could.
The 
joint 
result, 
by 
1700, 
was 
full-fledged 
slave 
plantation
economies 
in 
both 
regions 
primed 
for 
unprecedented 
growth 
in 
the
next 
century. 
The 
coming 
decades 
saw 
a 
dramatic 
increase 
in 
the
number 
of 
African 
imports, 
the 
beginning 
of 
population 
growth
among 
American-born 
blacks, 
and 
the 
resultant 
rise 
of 
an 
Afro-
American 
people 
with 
a 
distinct 
culture. 
The 
rise 
of 
the 
black 
com-
munity 
was 
to 
be 
the 
most 
important 
development 
in 
black 
history
in 
the 
eighteenth 
century.
