Social Relations In Our Southern States

By Daniel Robinson Hundley

Social Relations In Our Southern States is a book written by Daniel Robinson Hundley that delves into the social dynamics of the American South in the mid-19th century. The book is a first-hand account of Hundley's experiences living in the South during this time period, and it provides a unique perspective on the region's social structure, including its class system, race relations, and gender roles.Hundley begins the book by discussing the importance of social status in the South, particularly among the wealthy plantation owners who dominated the region's economy. He goes on to describe the various classes of people in the South, from the wealthy planters to the poor white farmers and slaves who worked the land.The book also explores the complex relationships between whites and African Americans in the South, including the institution of slavery and the tensions that arose between slaves and their owners. Hundley provides a detailed account of the daily lives of slaves, including their work, living conditions, and treatment by their owners.In addition to discussing race relations, the book also delves into gender roles in the South, particularly the expectations placed on women to be obedient and subservient to men. Hundley provides a nuanced analysis of the ways in which gender roles intersected with class and race to shape the social dynamics of the region.Overall, Social Relations In Our Southern States provides a comprehensive and insightful look into the social structure of the American South in the mid-19th century, shedding light on the complex relationships between different classes, races, and genders that shaped the region's history.By the term Cotton, used to designate the class of Snobs peculiar to the South, do not understand us to mean a person who must of necessity hail from the cotton-growing States. By the expression we wish to embrace the entire class of agricultural snobs--so to speak--without reference to whether they raise cotton, or tobacco, or rice, or sugar, or wheat, or hemp, or Indian corn.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
