520 2  "Analyzing land policy, labor, and legal history, Keri 
       Leigh Merritt reveals what happens to excess workers when 
       a capitalist system is predicated on slave labor. With the
       rising global demand for cotton--and thus, slaves--in the 
       1840s and 1850s, the need for white laborers in the 
       American South was drastically reduced, creating a large 
       underclass who were unemployed or underemployed. These 
       poor whites could not compete--for jobs or living wages--
       with profitable slave labor. Though impoverished whites 
       were never subjected to the daily violence and degrading 
       humiliations of racial slavery, they did suffer tangible 
       socio-economic consequences as a result of living in a 
       slave society. Merritt examines how these 'masterless' men
       and women threatened the existing Southern hierarchy and 
       ultimately helped push Southern slaveholders toward 
       secession and civil war"--|cProvided by publisher.
