520 1 $a"In 1850, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean were an "American Mediterranean," Enmeshed in this transnational social and economic network, well-to-do Southerners functioned as cosmopolitan citizens in a community of slaveholders, sharing goods and ideas, creating new and unexpected partnerships, and plotting imperial expansion." "The Civil War and the rise and fall of the Confederacy were pivotal moments not only for the South but also for this pan-American community, with important intellectual, cultural, and economic consequences for both slaveholders and slaves inside and outside the United States. Through such figures as West Indian Confederate Judah Benjamin, Cuban expatriate Ambrosio Gonzales, and the exile Eliza McHatton, Guterl sheds new light on a distinctly Southern worldview and redefines the nineteenth-century South as a liminal, hybrid region in the slaveholding age." "As Reconstruction progressed, the South was more firmly incorporated into the federal republic as a set of vanquished states. But echoes of the old South and the American Mediterranean could still be heard in the postwar clamor for "coolie" labor and in the effort to install a free labor work ethic in the mind of "the Negro."" "From Rebel exiles in Cuba to West Indian apprenticeship and the Black Codes, American Mediterranean fundamentally repositions the nineteenth century U.S. story of sectional conflict, civil war, and emancipation."--BOOK JACKET.
