Slave Counterpoint: Black Culture in the Eighteenth-Century Chesapeake and Lowcountry Paperback - 1998

by Philip D. Morgan

On the eve of the American Revolution, nearly all African Americans in mainland British America lived in two regions: the Chesapeake, centered in Virginia, and the Lowcountry, with its hub in South Carolina. Here, Morgan compares and contrasts African America life in these two regional black cultures, exploring the differences as well as the similarities. 27 illustrations. 31 tables. 11 figures.


From the jacket flap
