''The North and the South; or, Slavery and Its Contrasts'' is an 1852 plantation fiction novel by Caroline Rush, and among the first examples of the genre, alongside others such as ''Aunt Phillis's Cabin'' by Mary Henderson Eastman and ''Life at the South; or, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" As It Is'' by W.L.G. Smith, both of which were also released in 1852. == Overview ==
''The North and the South'' was one of several examples of the pro-slavery plantation literature genre that emerged from the Southern United States in response to ''Uncle Tom's Cabin'' by Harriet Beecher Stowe, which was criticised in the South as inaccurately depicting the workings of slavery and the attitudes of plantation owners towards their slaves.〔http://www.enotes.com/uncle-toms/〕 Rush's novel departs from this aspect, instead claiming that the sympathies expressed for slaves in the South is better directed at the "white slaves of poverty" (i.e. the working classes) of the North.〔http://www.iath.virginia.edu/utc/proslav/prficera1t.html〕 A similar angle had been taken (albeit with less fervour) in the earlier anti-Tom novel ''The Cabin and Parlor; or, Slaves and Masters'' by Charles Jacobs Peterson.〔http://www.iath.virginia.edu/utc/proslav/randolphhp.html〕 This change in attitude would put ''The North and the South'' on a similar line to the works of Charles Dickens in England, particularly his 1838 work ''Nicholas Nickleby'' (which featured a similar storyline), and the 1844 novel ''Martin Chuzzlewit'', which also featured criticisms of class society in the United States.〔Pearson, H.
