Masters and Statesmen: The Political Culture of American Slavery

by Kenneth S. Greenberg and Professor Kenneth S. Greenberg

Book Overview

Greenberg shows how planters and statesmen grappled with contradictory ideas and uses of power... His fresh insights on statesmanship, dueling, political parties and representation, the proslavery movement, and the origins and dynamics of Southern nationalism and secession give new vigor to these topics. -- Library Journal
