Edgefield, South Carolina -- Edgefield from the White perspective -- The White family and antebellum social structure -- The slave family -- The free Afro-American in antebellum Edgefield -- The culture of postbellum Afro-American family life -- Black and White postbellum household and family structure.
Burton traces the evolution of Edgefield County from the antebellum period through Reconstruction and beyond. From amassed information on every household in this large rural community, he tests the many generalizations about southern black and white families of this period and finds that they were strikingly similar. Wealth, rather than race or class, was the main factor that influenced family structure, and the matriarchal family was but a myth. This detailed treatment of the economics, patterns, and rhythms of rural life, including analyses of religion and religious themes in the agrarian community, will advance our understanding of rural history and race relations in the South.
