The Sweetness of Life: Southern Planters at Home - Cambridge Studies on the American South
Eugene D. Genovese
American slaveholders used the wealth and leisure that slave labor provided to cultivate lives of gentility and refinement. This study provides a vivid portrait of slaveholders at home and at play as they built a tragic world of both 'sweetness' and slavery.
