Tracing its long histories of economic, social, and cultural evolution, Morris takes a close and richly detailed look at a representative Southern community: Jefferson Davis's Warren County, in the state's southwestern corner. Drawing on many wills, deeds, court records, and manuscript materials, he reveals the transformation of a loosely knit, typically Western\n\u003cbr\u003ecommunity of pioneer homesteaders into a distinctly Southern society based on plantation agriculture, slavery, and a patriarchal social order.\"This thoughtful, well-written study\n\u003cbr\u003edoubtless will be widely read and deservedly influential.\"--American Historical Review.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44156622799086,"sku":"9780195134216","price":90.75,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/products\/9780195134216.jpg?v=1683546231","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/becoming-southern","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
