Ante-Bellum Alabama: Town and Country was written to give the reader insight into importaant facers of Alabama's ante-bellum history. Presented in the form of case studies from the pre-Civil War period, the book deals with a city, a town, a planter's family, rural social life, attitudes concerning race, and Alabama's early agricultural and industrial development.
