This is an exceptionally well-conceived and well-executed
collection of documents and scholarly essays. Mark Smith deserves
high marks for at once presenting and recasting the antebellum
South in bold and original ways. The Old South is absolutely
first-rate." Peter Coclanis, University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill
"This book provides an excellent introduction to the study of the antebellum South, covering the salient topics in the region's economic, political, and cultural history. Mark Smith's essay on the historiography is elegant and informative, and his choice of readings is judicious. Undergraduates will learn a great deal from this volume, and it is perfectly suited for course adoption." Joan E. Cashin, author of Our Common Affairs: Texts from Women in the Old South
