Tobacco and Slaves
''Tobacco and Slaves: The Development of Southern Cultures in the Chesapeake, 1680–1800'', is a book written by historian Allan Kulikoff. Published in 1986, it is the first major study〔Gloria L. Main, review of ''Tobacco and Slaves'', in ''American Historical Review'' 92 (February 1987): p. 200.〕 that synthesized the historiography of the colonial Chesapeake region of the United States. ''Tobacco and Slaves'' is a neo-Marxist〔David T. Courtwright, review of ''Tobacco and Slaves'', in ''The History Teacher'' 21 (November 1987): p. 135.〕 study that explains the creation of a racial caste system in the tobacco-growing regions of Maryland and Virginia and the origins of southern slave society. Kulikoff uses statistics compiled from colonial court and church records, tobacco sales, and land surveys to conclude that economic, political, and social developments in the 18th-century Chesapeake established the foundations of economics, politics, and society in the 19th-century South.
== Historiographic background ==
During the early 20th century, the historiography of the Chesapeake colonies was dominated by the Cavalier myth. Studies focused exclusively on the white planter elite who were portrayed as both the descendants of English Cavaliers and the progenitors of the Virginia dynasty that controlled the first fifty years of post-Revolutionary American politics. Much attention was given to the families of prominent Virginian statesmen George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison. Challenges to the Cavalier myth and its influence on the historiography appeared in Thomas Jefferson Wertenbaker's ''Torchbearer of the Revolution: The Story of Bacon's Rebellion and Its Leaders'' (1940), Wesley Frank Craven's ''The Southern Colonies in the Seventheenth Century, 1607–1689'' (1949), and Carl Bridenbaugh's ''Myths and Realities: Societies of the Colonial South'' (1952).〔For a summary of pre-1960s historiography, see Richard S. Dunn, "Quantifying the History of the Chesapeake in the Eighteenth Century," ''Reviews in American History'' 15 (December 1987): p. 563; Thad W. Tate, "The Seventeenth-Century Chesapeake and Its Modern Historians," in ''The Chesapeake in the Seventeenth Century: Essays on Anglo-American Society'', ed. Thad W. Tate and David L. Ammerman (New York: W. W. Norton, 1979), ISBN 0-393-00956-4.〕〔On the Cavalier myth, see Daniel Joseph Singal, ''The War Within: From Victorian to Modernist Thought in the South, 1919–1945'' (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1982), chap. 1, ISBN 0-8078-4087-4.〕
Despite revision of the traditional historiography, African American slaves and women remained in the periphery of studies of the Chesapeake until the 1960s. Winthrop D. Jordan's ''White Over Black: American Attitudes Toward the Negro, 1550–1812'' (1968) offered the first interpretation of the roles of women and slaves in the Chesapeake colonies. Since the 1960s, scholars have produced broad examinations of colonial Chesapeake society. Gerald W. Mullin's ''Flight and Rebellion: Slave Resistance in Eighteenth-Century Virginia'' (1972), Edmund S. Morgan's ''American Slavery, American Freedom: The Ordeal of Colonial Virginia'' (1975), Lois G. Carr and Lorena S. Walsh's article "The Planter's Wife: The Experience of White Women in Seventeenth-Century Maryland" (1977) printed in the ''William and Mary Quarterly'', Rhys Isaac's ''The Transformation of Virginia, 1740–1790'' (1982), and Jan Lewis's ''The Pursuit of Happiness: Family and Values in Jefferson's Virginia'' (1983) and Kathleen D. Brown's ''Good Wives, Nasty Wenches, and Anxious Patriarchs: Gender, Race, and Power in Colonial Virginia'' (1996) offer analyses of women, slaves, and poorer whites in the Chesapeake.〔Dunn, "Quantifying the History of the Chesapeake," pp. 563–564, 568n1.〕
Along with social and cultural histories, historians of the Chesapeake continued to study the relationships between politics and the economy that drew the Chesapeake colonies into the Revolution. Ronald Hoffman's ''A Spirit of Dissension: Economics, Politics, and the Revolution in Maryland'' (1973), Paul G. E. Clemens's ''The Atlantic Economy and Colonial Maryland's Eastern Shore: From Tobacco to Grain'' (1980), Gloria L. Main's ''Tobacco Colony: Life in Early Maryland, 1650-1720'' (1982), and Isaac's ''Transformation of Virginia'' forward diverse interpretations of the connections between politics, economy, and revolution and the changes they ellicited.〔Kulikoff, ''Tobacco and Slaves'', pp. 14–15.〕 Out of this historiographic milieu, Allan Kulikoff produced ''Tobacco and Slaves'' in an attempt to synthesize the disparate interpretations and analyses with his own research of the Chesapeake.
