by Bertram Wallace Korn
- 1 Want to read
Scarce and fascinating work in which the author makes a strong and persuasive case that there were few Jews in the planting class in the South; that Jews had historically been forced into commercial enterprises; that in the Old South they were typically city dwellers; that a small number participated in the domestic slave trade; that they treated their slaves no better or worst than other slave holders; and that they treated few Jews in the South without exception endorsed slavery.
