Offers the first cultural history of proslavery ideology in the antebellum United States. The majority of representations of slavery before the Civil War explicitly defended the institution or accepted it as constitutive of American life. Douglas A. Jones, Jr. traces the pervasiveness of proslavery ideology in the antebellum period, charting its functionality in the social, cultural, and racial imaginary in the most unexpected of places: the free North. |
