Yankee Town, Southern City – Race and Class Relations in Civil War Lynchburg de Steven Elliot Tripp

Yankee Town, Southern City – Race and Class Relations in Civil War Lynchburg

Autor Steven Elliot Tripp
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 ian 1997
One of the most hotly debated issues in the historical study of race relations is the question of how the Civil War and Reconstruction affected social relations in the South. Did the War leave class and race hierarchies intact? Or did it mark the profound disruption of a long-standing social order? Yankee Town, Southern City examines how the members of the southern community of Lynchburg, Virginia experienced four distinct but overlapping events--Secession, Civil War, Black Emancipation, and Reconstruction. By looking at life in the grog shop, at the military encampment, on the street corner, and on the shop floor, Steven Elliott Tripp illustrates the way in which ordinary people influenced the contours of race and class relations in their town.

Recenzii

"A readable and interesting book that . . . provides a vivid portrait of the evolution of one southern city during this trying period. It is a most worthy contribution to the literature of the South and to urban history generally."
--John Ingham, Journal of American History

One of the most hotly debated issues in the historical study of race relations is the question of how the Civil War and Reconstruction affected social relations in the South. Did the War leave class and race hierarchies intact? Or did it mark the profound disruption of a longstanding social order? Yankee Town, Southern City examines how the members of one Southern community, Lynchburg, Virginia, experienced four distinct but overlapping events - Secession, Civil War, black emancipation, and Reconstruction. By examining life in the grog shop, at the military encampment, on the street corner, and on the shop floor, Steven Elliott Tripp illustrates the ways in which ordinary people influenced the contours of race and class relations in their town. Tripp argues that war and postwar experiences compelled blacks and lower-class whites to defy the elites' prescription for race relations. By acting on their own, lower-class whites expressed their frustrations with elite rule and contributed to the instability of postwar society. African Americans, Tripp argues, were equally assertive. Drawing on a collective culture that developed in the town's tobacco factories well before the war, the black community demonstrated a resolve that often frustrated whites' attempts to control it.
