In Edgefield, South Carolina, in the 1830s, white Southerners combined these seemingly antithetical ideals to forge a new compound: a wrathful moral ethic of righteous honor. \u003ci\u003eDueling Cultures, Damnable Legacies\u003c\/i\u003e investigates the formation and proliferation of this white supremacist ideology that merged masculine bellicosity with religious devotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1856, when Edgefield native Preston Smith Brooks viciously beat the abolitionist Charles Sumner on the Senate floor, the ideology of righteous honor reached its apogee and took national center stage. Welborn analyzes the birth of this peculiar moral ethic in Edgefield and traces its increasing dominance across the American South in the buildup to the Civil War, as white Southerners sought to cloak a war fought in defense of slavery in the language of honor and Christian piety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Hill Welborn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813949319\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813949314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Virginia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/23\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"James Hill Welborn","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44131773186303,"sku":"9780813949314","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0543593e-5fb5-4e79-b205-b812530d95a4.jpg?v=1687476316","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dueling-cultures-damnable-legacies-james-hill-welborn-9780813949314","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
