Defining the South and the Peculiar Institution

By: Jeffrey, S. B.

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. This book is about the southern territory of the United States, its history, and the peculiar institution of slavery. Readers will learn about how the slave states were defined, why the transition was made from indentured servitude to chattel slavery, and how slave codes helped to control the population. The book also explores the Middle Passage, the Fugitive Slave Act, and the proslavery movement in the Antebellum South.
