Series: Modern Economic and Social History. 8vo. xii, 302 pp. 20 figures, 5 tables, 2 charts, index, bibliography. Pictorial paper-backed boards. Burndy Library bookplate. Fine. ISBN: 0754633969 From the cover: "By rejecting the conventional viewpoint that timid manufacturers were conservative supporters of the plantation South and insisting that workshop owners rejected slavery, this study reinvigorates one of the Civil War's enduring interpretative battles. Of interest to scholars of business, economic, social, labour, education, urban and Civil War history, it will no doubt stimulate further debate and add a new angle to our understanding of nineteenth-century America."
