- Description
- Biography of Louisa S. McCord, an intellectual, writer, poet, and plantation mistress in antebellum America. Fought analyses McCord's poetry, letters, and essays in an effort to comprehend her acceptance of slavery and the submission of women. Fought concludes that McCord came to a defense of slavery through her experience with free labour in the North, which also reinforced her faith in the paternalist model for preserving social order.
