Abstract:
This social history uses an analysis of social structures, social groupings, social interactions, and power configurations to examine the exercise of power in the antebellum South. Focusing on the attributes of power-holders and their importance in shaping any society via the role of the planter/slaveholder, the author uses Mecklenburg County as a case study because of its representative antebellum attributes and the postwar changes that occurred there.
