Abstract:

This article examines the often violent relationship between slaves and poor whites in the antebellum Carolinas. In poor white communities, the ideal of honor was very important to a man's standing in the community. When a poor white man was not respected in his community, he still demanded respect in the black community, often using force to achieve it.
