	Antebellum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Antebellum Period in the Southern United States is viewed by some with a kind of sentimental nostalgia as an idealized agrarian and chivalric society.
		While the South was largely ruined after the Civil War, this had as much or more to do with the failed domestic polices of the Confederacy, notably its impressment of food supplies, and thousands of uprooted civilians, than it did with the scorched earth policy of Sherman.
		In the romanticized view, the Antebellum Period is often looked back on with sentimental nostalgia by some whites in the U.S. South, as an idealized pre-industrial highly-structured genteel and stable agrarian society, in contrast to the anxiety and struggle of modern life.

	Antebellum South Carolina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Antebellum South Carolina is typically defined by historians as the period of South Carolina between the War of 1812 and the American Civil War.
		South Carolinians had earlier tolerated slavery as a necessary evil, but largely in reaction to the continual sparring with abolitionists, proclaimed slavery a positive good, a benefit to the enslaved, and a proper response to the "natural" differences between whites and fls.
		South Carolina's fighting prowess was once again proven in battle, but, largely because of disease, of 1,100 South Carolinian volunteers who fought in the war only 300 returned alive.

	Banking Lessons from the Past
		Antebellum farmers' persistent complaints about banks lending to merchants, but refusing to lend to them are consistent with the expected effect the a price ceiling state usury laws established.
		South Carolina's banking system probably benefited from the fact that the Bank of the State of South Carolina imposed some restraint on other banks up until the end of the antebellum period.
		Because South Carolina was a one-party (Democratic) autocracy, the BSSC was not subject to as strong partisan attacks as were the Central Bank and the Bank of the State of Alabama.

	Racism in the Antebellum South (Pt. 9 of 9)
		In the South, white-supremacist ideas were not only the required belief, but they went together with support for slavery and the kind of active participation I focused on in these posts.
		But as in the South, opposition to slavery often co-existed with ideas that even by the standards of that time were white supremacist.

	The Myth of the Old South
		The Old South, in imagination, was a land of prosperous plantations and happy Negroes, large white houses with window glass, cultured people who could read and write, music and literature, and a stable economy based on cotton.
		This still seems to be practiced in the South, but does not appear in the daily papers except by innuendo.
		Like all American cities of the time, the few cities in the South were unhealthy, the climate rendering the usual plagues more frequent and virulent than in the North.

		The remaining 93 percent of the 1860 Savannah slaveholders appeared on the schedule by name alone, without any indication of their exact relationship to the slaves they held, and it is certainly possible that many were actually employers not explicitly designated as such by the marshal.

	Library of Southern Literature: Antebellum Era
		Political and economic leadership in the South by the end of the 18th century had moved from Virginia to South Carolina, especially Charleston, when it became clear that raw cotton was to be that state's and the region's essential product and that slavery was therefore necessary to the future.
		Simms's only serious rival as a writer in the South was Baltimore politician John Pendleton Kennedy, whose informal fictional sketches in Swallow Barn (1832) helped establish the plantation novel, which in its depiction of a mythic genteel past and an ideal social structure has found hundreds of imitators in American romance fiction.
		Outside of Poe, the most influential writing produced by the antebellum South was the work of a group of humorists who had no literary pretensions and therefore were free of the prevailing influences of the literary marketplace.

	Jews in Antebellum South?? Yes, Indeed! by Ann Butler
		At a time when cash was in short supply and banks unreliable, their stores had far-reaching credit arrangements and became conduits for funneling some much-needed cash into the rural areas.
		As these hard-working immigrants prospered, the South became the center of Jewish population in the country, offering religious and political freedom as well as the possibility of great financial success.
		Synagogues and temples were built, cemeteries established and charitable organizations formed as the Jews shared their prosperity in great and far-reaching philanthropies, funding museums and zoological parks, civic improvements and levees, hospitals and public schools for both fl and white students.

	Antebellum White South: Economy
		For our purposes, the South was a region characterized by production of the market of a number of agricultural staples in which slave labor was both the major capital investment and an important intermediate product.
		The uniqueness of the antebellum South continues to challenge the imagination of Americans, who, despite persistent attempts, cannot divert their attention from slavery.
		If the planters were losing their economic and political cold war with the Northern capitalism, the failure of the South to develop sufficient industry provided the most striking immediate cause.

	The Antebellum South Rejects the One-Drop Rule--The Color Line and the One-Drop Rule
		This essay suggests that between 1830 and slavery’s end in 1865 the South was in transition.
		Early in this period, which side of the endogamous color line you were on depended on the rule of blood fraction as modified by the rule of physical appearance and the rule of association.
		By 1865, the upper South had apparently become comfortable with a one-drop rule in practice, while still paying lip service to the old blood-fraction laws in theory.
