	Creating an Old South: Middle Florida's Plantation Frontier before the Civil War, by Edward E. Baptist. Chapter 1. (Site not responding. Last check: )
		If plantations were not themselves strictly capitalist enterprises, they were certainly enterprises shaped by Atlantic capitalism.[5] And slavery in the United States—whether as a social relationship between individuals or as an economic institution that relied upon worldwide markets for its products—was in the midst of rapid change during the first half of the nineteenth century.
		Certainly plantation mistresses were not immune to "the Florida humours," the "fever" for emigration, or the desire for family power and wealth.
		Middle Florida offered them exciting kinds of power, represented by the myth of the sugar planter, and the reality of a new territory in which wealth and office would be up for grabs among family-based factions.

		Plantation homes, such as Margaret Mitchell’s Tara, are representative of the larger nineteenth-century residences of the Deep South: Virginia’s largest plantation homes were mostly built during the eighteenth century and featured Palladian-inspired Georgian architectural design.
		The word plantation does appear frequently to casually reference properties under cultivation, as we commonly use the word "farm" today: In 1843 the accounting of the Estate of Furneau Southall recorded in Charles City County lists the money collected for the use of the land as "rent for the plantation".
		During the twentieth century the term "plantation" was appended to proper place names by many historic sites in Virginia, and throughout the entire South, in an effort to market the unique agriculturally-oriented history of their properties.

		In Jones’ perspective, it was because of these men’s efforts to “civilize” Middle Plantation that it became a popular destination, attracting affluent plantation owners, an ordinary, and ultimately the College of William and Mary.
		According to Jones, the college was certainly an incentive to move the capital to Middle Plantation (it had frequently been used as a meeting place for Virginia's government), as was the recent destructive fire in Jamestown.
		Blair especially credited himself for Middle Plantation’s success, saying “I simply moved the capital to the college.” After five of his students spoke before the House of Burgesses in 1699 on the virtues of Middle Plantation as a capital city, Jamestown was abandoned and “Williamsburg” became the new capital of Virginia.

	H-Net Review: Daniel Kilbride on Creating an Old South: Middle Florida's Plantation Frontier before ...
		Or, to extend one of Baptist's favorite metaphors, the white, fl, and native American residents of middle Florida were not players following a script, but playwrights in their own right, angrily and violently arguing over a plot written as they lived it.
		Countrymen certainly were not averse to riches, but they mainly saw the region as promising independence, which they valued not as a moral ideal, but as an improvement over the humiliating subordination under which they had chafed in the plantation areas of the southeast.
		Baptist has made the most of his opportunity, showing not only how middle Florida participated in and departed from the major movements of the period, but in presenting a new way of writing southern history.
