Ten Years On A Georgia Plantation Since The War (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163107966)

Ten Years On A Georgia Plantation Since The War is a memoir written by Frances Butler Leigh, a white woman who lived on a plantation in Georgia for ten years after the Civil War. The book offers a unique perspective on post-war Southern life, particularly the lives of former slaves and their relationships with their former masters. Leigh describes the daily life on the plantation, including the work done by the former slaves, the relationships between the white and black residents, and the challenges faced by both groups in the aftermath of the war. The book also explores the social and political changes that occurred during this time, including the rise of the Ku Klux Klan and the struggle for civil rights. Overall, Ten Years On A Georgia Plantation Since The War provides a fascinating glimpse into a little-known period of American history and offers valuable insights into the complex and often troubled relationships between blacks and whites in the South.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
