The Southern Plantation Lady - A Different Kind of Slave?

» Lynne_Remick - Great Article for Writers in the Civil War Period

This article gives a great characterization of
women "ladies" of this era and makes a fascinating
profile for a protagonist for a Civil War novel.

Although I am not writing about this period
currently, I will actively recommend this page
to those who are.

Great job!

You know the rest.

What a great article!

Often I wonder how women kept up with regular duties in those days - little did I realize they carried an even heavier burden than I imagined. Your article is a great portrayal of just how strong a woman had to be then (and still has to be even in these days, hmm?).

» catgrl801 - Women in the south

I am a junior in high school and I am doing a research project for on slavery and different viewpoints of it, from the southern slave holder, to the slave, to the southern white nonslaveholder, and when I was writing about the plantations and plantation owners, I was able to use some of your information. Thank you!
