Tracing its long histories of economic, social, and cultural evolution, Morris takes a close and richly detailed look at a representative Southern community: Jefferson Davis's Warren County, in the state's southwestern corner. Drawing on many wills, deeds, court records, and manuscript materials, he reveals the transformation of a loosely knit, typically Western community of pioneer homesteaders into a distinctly Southern society based on plantation agriculture, slavery, and a patriarchal social order. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"This thoughtful, well-written study doubtless will be widely read and deservedly influential.\"--\u003cem\u003eAmerican Historical Review\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChristopher Morris\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of History at the University of Texas at Arlington.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.65 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 22, 1999\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52634475036979,"sku":"9780195134216","price":91.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/qgqu96lBJi9780195134216.webp?v=1762246409","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/becoming-southern-the-evolution-of-a-way-of-life-warren-county-and-vicksburg-mississippi-1770-1860-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
