The Black Gauntlet: A Tale of Plantation Life in South Carolina
''The Black Gauntlet: A Tale of Plantation Life in South Carolina'' (also known as simply ''The Black Gauntlet'') is an anti-Tom novel written in 1860 by Mary Howard Schoolcraft, published under her married name of Mrs. Henry Rowe Schoolcraft.
== Background ==
Mary Howard (d. 1878) was born into the planter slaveholding elite of South Carolina. She was the second wife of the widower and ethnologist Henry Rowe Schoolcraft, who was 53 when they married in 1846. They lived in Washington, DC and after their deaths were each buried in the Congressional Cemetery.
''The Black Gauntlet'' is an example of the pro-slavery plantation literature genre that was written in response to the anti-slavery novel ''Uncle Tom's Cabin'' (1852) by Harriet Beecher Stowe. Critics accused Stowe of exaggerating (or inaccurately depicting) Southern society, slaveholders, slaves and the institution of slavery in the South.〔("Uncle Tom's Cabin" ), ENotes〕
''The Black Gauntlet'' is unusual as a late example, as the majority were written and published soon after ''Uncle Tom's Cabin'' in 1852. The competing novels were part of the public, rhetorical arguments between North and South in the years of rising political and social tensions before the American Civil War.
