- Description
- Schwalm offers an account of the lives of slave women on the rice plantations of lowcountry South Carolina : their vital roles in antebellum plantation life and in the wartime collapse of slavery, and their efforts as freed-women to recover from the impact of the Civil War while redefining life and labor in the postbellum period.
