About the book

Far from the picturesque antebellum plantations and meekly repressed slaves of popular mythology, the American South has always had its share of social rebellion. Here, seven accounts of insurrectionary episodes in Southern history are tied together into a larger narrative about the long arc of revolt in the South. Countering images of the region as pacified and universally conservative, this adventurous alternative history covers slave rebellions, stockade burnings, multiracial banditry, labour struggles, prison uprisings, urban riots, and more.
