The Mind of the Master Class: History and Faith in the Southern Slaveholders' WorldviewCambridge University Press, 2005 M10 17 - 828 pages The Mind of the Master Class tells of America's greatest historical tragedy. A great many of the slaveholding men and women were intelligent, honorable, and pious; yet, these very people, admirable in so many ways, presided over a social system that proved itself an enormity and inflicted horrors on their slaves. Even now, there is much to be learned from their moral and political reflections on their times--and ours. |
