In the first book-length study of white tradespeople in the pre-Civil War South, Gillespie highlights the complex world of a nearly hidden population marginalized by a growing slave system. She demonstrates that the appearance of solidarity in the white antebellum South was false and that class conflicts threatened to divide white southern society.
