Welfare and charity in the antebellum South Cover Image Book

Welfare and charity in the antebellum South / Timothy James Lockley.

Lockley, Timothy James, 1971- (Author).

Summary:

Public welfare in the US has existed in one form or another since the colonial period. Most historical investigations into the practice tend to focus on urban settings, mostly in the North. This text reveals both the breadth of how southerner elites helped their poor, even in rural areas, and the racial impetus behind their actions.
