"Unquestionably the finest book on an antebellum southern state
since J. Mills Thornton's Politics and Power in a Slave
Society....His major contribution...is not to explain uniqueness
but rather to portray convincingly a state sharing much with the
other states of the cotton South....In sum, Lacy K. Ford has
written a major book."--Journal of Southern History
"Excellent....A major contribution to the history of South
Carolina."--South Carolina Historical Magazine
"An important book....A carefully researched, well-written
analysis."--Civil War History
"Both undergraduate and graduate readers will benefit from this
revealing look at the Old South's bellwether state."--CHOICE
"This is a superb book. It carefully situates republican ideology
in its social, economic, and political context and skillfully
portrays interrelationships between ideas and social
reality."--Georgia Historical Quarterly
