Domesticating slavery : the master class in Georgia and South Carolina, 1607-1837

An account of the southern American slaveholders' path toward a sectional mentality. Drawing on archival evidence and integrating political, religious, economic and literary sources, it traces the growth of a slave-owning culture that cast the planter in the role of benevolent Christian steward.
