In April of 1860, on her 17th birthday, Anne’s father gave her Wexford, a 15,000-acre cotton and tobacco plantation. He also gave her a new body servant, whom Anne named Moragan. Moragan is not a conventional slave. She is about 10, Irish, and has a habit of speaking her mind – a trait that annoys Anne profoundly! Moragan, does not know the rules and conventions of being a slave – much less being a body servant, so Anne trains her. It is not an easy task for either one of them, and Moragan is certain her behind will be completely worn away before she learns to behave! As America begins to fall apart at the seams, Anne and Moragan begin to forge a completely different relationship. Moragan runs Wexford House for Anne, and she learns what it means to be a slave from both perspectives: owner and owned. Anne always reminds Moragan that she and all the other servants are only stock, and not ‘people’. Both of them are products of their time: and as Anne learns how to govern the society under her, she and Moragan discover who they truly are. [more]

No Sooner Was The Stout Puritan Commonwealth Of Massachusetts Firmly Planted Than It Began Rapidly To Throw Out Branches In All Directions. With Every Succeeding Year The Long, Thin, Sinuous Line Of Settlements Stretched Farther And Farther Away To The Northeast, Fringing The Wild Shores Of The Atlantic With Houses And Farms Gathered Together At The Mouths Or On The Banks Of The Rivers, And With The Homes Of Hardy Fishermen Which Clustered In Little Groups Beneath The Shelter Of The Rocky Headlands. The Extension Of These Plantations Was Chiefly Along The Coast, But There Was Also A Movement Up The River Courses Toward The West And Into The Interior. The Line Of Northeastern Settlements Began First To Broaden In This Way Very Slowly But Still Steadily From The Plantations At Portsmouth And Dover, Which Were Nearly Coeval With The Flourishing Towns Of The Bay.

Ulrich Bonnell Phillips (November 4, 1877 – January 21, 1934) was an American historian who largely defined the field of the social and economic history of the antebellum American South and slavery. Phillips concentrated on the large plantations that dominated the Southern economy, and he did not investigate the numerous small farmers who held few slaves. He concluded that plantation slavery produced great wealth, but was a dead end, economically, that left the South bypassed by the industrial revolution underway in the North. [more]
