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 community of pioneer homesteaders into a distinctly Southern society based on plantation agriculture, slavery, and a patriarchal social order. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"This thoughtful, well-written study doubtless will be widely read and deservedly influential.\"--\u003cem\u003eAmerican Historical Review\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Morris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0195134214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195134216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/22\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.65d","brand":"Christopher Morris","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46216950055167,"sku":"9780195134216","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3c737a38-ea76-402d-b1a1-356e71e49754.jpg?v=1728513842","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/becoming-southern-christopher-morris-9780195134216","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
