  Plantation Tradition in Local Color Fiction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)

 Uncle Tom's Cabin Essay
This "plantation mythology," analyzed in Gaines's The Southern Plantation (1924), has by now become a cliche of historical romances like Gone With The Wind, but its origins are to be found in the early 19th century.
Plantations are seen in these books as places where slaves do manual labor, and whites leisurely manage and supervise.
Large plantations worked by slaves were concentrated in a few areas along the coastal plain, particularly in Virginia and South Carolina, and, eventually, in the lower Mississippi valley: in these places the economy was oriented around one or two cash crops (tobacco, cotton, sugar cane, indigo, rice).

 Vernon L. Parrington's Main Currents of American Thought, Vol. 2
The plantation tradition, it will be remembered, first took shape in the Old Domínion and assumed its salient features at the hands of Virginia romantics.
Life on the plantation was uncramped by the drab routine and skimpy meanness of the New England farm; fit was unsoiled by the coarseness and vulgarity of the frontier; fit had none of the sordidness of the middle-class town.
At the time when the romantics were beginning their work of constructing the plantation tradition the intellectual renaissance of Virginia was passing.

 The Corner House - Genetic Dialectic
This tradition stems from the efforts of both early modern European states and large commercial concerns to calculate probable yields from timber extraction, using techniques such as statistical field surveys of the species and sizes of forest trees.
The factory-like order of industrial pulpwood plantations, with their ranks of even-aged trees of the same species marching over large landscapes, is closely tied to the political development of the factory itself.
For example, large monoculture plantations are notoriously vulnerable to insect and disease infestations, since they offer a gigantic feast all in one place to any insect or microorganism able to evolve to exploit them.

 Critical Reaction
In the plantation tale, there is a yearning for things to remain the same, a yearning that consistently overlooks the evil of slavery and focuses more on affective bucolic images.
Cloaking his messages in the plantation tradition allowed Chesnutt to seemingly be producing nothing more than the types of tales that fl authors had produced from 1853 to the 1890's (Foster, 19).
At this point Chesnutt had abandoned the overt confines of the plantation tradition and shifted to what is often termed "purpose fiction" by those who agree with it and "propaganda" by those who don't (Burnette, 519A, 20).

 THE FIRST THANKSGIVING
The Pilgrims did have a feast in 1621, after their first harvest, and it is this feast which people often refer to as "The First Thanksgiving".
In fact, to these devoutly religious people, a day of thanksgiving was a day of prayer and fasting, and would have been held any time that they felt an extra day of thanks was called for.
Much of the information we have about the feast, and this period in the lives of these people, is the result of research conducted by the staff at Plimoth Plantation, the living museum in Plymouth, Massachusetts, that re-creates the lives of the Pilgrims with Mayflower II, the 1627 Pilgrim Village, and a native homesite.

 Southern Local Color: Introduction
Formerly confined to plantations and forbidden to travel without passes, many ex-slaves took to the road for a variety of reasons: to seek out separated family members, to return to familiar places, to pursue better work opportunities, or just to test their new license.
As the tradition and the century drew to a close, Dunbar-Nelson’s guarded local-color fiction seemed to reflect all too accurately a world in which intimacy was absent, and human contact was undermined by the deceptions that it required.
The individuality, independence, and traditional wisdom of the rural “folk” that seemed so lost to the citizens of a modern industrialized nation could thus be preserved and affirmed without sacrificing the tacit superiority of its new urbanity and progressive “American” goals.

His obligatory mimicking of the plantation tradition conventions popularized by Irwin Russell, Joel Chandler Harris, and Thomas Nelson Page resulted in a perpetuation of these conventions.

After the oral tradition of the 18th century became more formalized, the short story, in its written form, took on the quality of the more widespread romantic movement.
The short story became an accurate reflection of the pace and diversity of the American lifestyle; the only limitation for the southern writers, perhaps, was the warping of that reflection to suit the needs of their particular culture during the Reconstruction Era.
Chesnutt turned away from the plantation tradition in his second volume, The Wife of His Youth (1889) to what became a primary concern of his—the role of the “tragic mulatto.” “The Sheriff’s Children” stands out as an obvious example of blind discrimination.
