Synopsis

This book provides an in-depth examination of the agricultural and social changes experienced by African Americans, particularly in Georgia, in the years following the Civil War. The author analyzes the decline of the plantation system and the rise of tenancy and landownership among freed slaves. Drawing extensively upon census data and statistical analysis, the study sheds light on the complex factors that shaped the movement of African Americans from plantations to towns, their economic opportunities, and the influence of prejudice on their social progress. The book offers a comprehensive account of an important period in history and provides valuable insights for understanding the long-term challenges faced by African Americans in the South and the role of land tenure in their ongoing struggle for equality.
