NOTES
1. William Henry Trescot, quoted in
Rosengarten, Tombee, 139.
2. See for example Edward Pessen,
"How Different from Each Other Were the
Antebellum North and South?" American
Historical Review 85 ( 1980): 1119-49.
3. I have explored this theme some-
what further in a hitherto unpublished
paper on "Southern Nationalism and
American Nationalism."
4. The early champion of the
yeoman-democracy thesis was Frank L. Owsley
; see his Plain Folk of the Old South
( Baton Rouge, La., 1949). Randolph B. Campbell
, "Planters and Plain Folks: The
Social Structure of the Antebellum
South", in John B. Boles and Evelyn T. Nolen
, eds., Interpreting Southern History:
Historiographical Essays in Honor of San-
ford W. Higginbotham ( Baton Rouge, La.,
1987), 48-77, provides an excellent re-
view of the literature on the subject.
5. The evolution of Genovese views
may be traced through many of his writ-
ings, including The Political Economy of
Slavery; In Red and Black; The World the
Slaveholders Made; and in numerous es-
says.
6. George M. Fredrickson, The Black
Image in the White Mind: The Debate on
Afro-American Character and Destiny,
1817-1914 ( New York, 1971), 61-8, 93-

renvolk democracy" to Pierre L. van den Berghe

Perspective ( New York, 1967).

chapter 2.

synthesis of recent work, spiced by his
own personal reflections.
