The Heritage of The South by Jubal Anderson Early
QR code
"The Heritage of The South" by Jubal A. Early is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the history of slavery in the South, beginning with its introduction during colonial times and examining its establishment and impact on American politics. Early aims to correct what he sees as misconceptions about the South's role in slavery and its legacy, indicating a perspective that justifies the institution in the
context of its historical significance to Southern identity. At the start of the book, Early lays out the foundational aspects of the African slave trade and its evolution within colonial America. He details early instances of slave importation beginning with the Portuguese in the 15th century, emphasizing the role of various European nations, including England, in perpetuating the trade. He underscores the economic and labor demands that fostered slavery's growth in Southern states, suggesting that the complex relationship between enslaved individuals and their masters was more nuanced than common narratives of oppression might convey. Early's objective appears to be an exploration of historical context to address and potentially alleviate the stigma attached to the Southern legacy of slavery.
