The Origins of the Southern Middle Class, 1800-1861
Jonathan Daniel Wells
Jonathan Daniel Wells contests the popular idea that the Old South was a region of essentially two classes (planters and slaves) until after the Civil War. He argues that, in fact, the region had a burgeoning white middle class that had a profound impact on southern culture, the debate over slavery, and the coming of the Civil War.
