O knihe
In the antebellum South, divorce was an explosive issue. As one lawmaker put it, divorce was to be viewed as a form of "madness". How was it that in this climate, the number of divorces rose steadily during the antebellum era? Loren Schweninger uses previously unexplored records to argue that the difficulties these divorcing families faced reveal much about the reality of life in a slave-holding society and the difficulties confronted by white southern families who chose not to divorce.
