Synopsis Masters of Small Worlds by : Stephanie McCurry

In this innovative study of the South Carolina Low Country, author Stephanie McCurry explores the place of the yeomanry in plantation society--the complex web of domestic and public relations within which they were enmeshed, and the contradictory politics of slave society by which that class of small farmers extracted the privileges of masterhood from the region's powerful planters. Insisting on the centrality of women as historical actors and gender as a category of analysis, this work shows how the fateful political choices made by the low-country yeomanry were rooted in the politics of the household, particularly in the customary relations of power male heads of independent households assumed over their dependents, whether slaves or free women and children. Such masterly prerogatives, practiced in the domestic sphere and redeemed in the public, explain the yeomanry's deep commitment to slavery and, ultimately, their ardent embrace of secession. By placing the yeomanry in the center of the drama, McCurry offers a significant reinterpretation of this volatile society on the road to Civil War. Through careful and creative use of a wide variety of archival sources, she brings vividly to life the small worlds of yeoman households, and the larger world of the South Carolina Low Country, the plantation South, and nineteenth-century America.

Synopsis Robert Mills's Courthouses & Jails by : Gene Waddell

In addition to numerous rare illustrations, this book has three sections of text and a detailed index. The first section discusses five types of courthouses and two types of jails designed by Mill's, district buildings by William Jay (the architect of Savannah mansions), Mill's public and private buildings that are similar to his courthouses and jails, and buildings influenced by Mill's designs. An appendix discusses the courthouses and jails in each district between 1800 and 1865, and another appendix prints samples of contemporary architectural documents.
