Agriculture and National Development: Views on the Nineteenth Century. The Henry A. Wallace Series on Agricultural History and Rural Studies
Locational Choice in the Antebellum South
This article examines the economic and noneconomic factors that influenced the migration decisions of antebellum Southern households. It appears that nonslaveowners were neither pushed to inferior locations nor did they move independently of the economic consequences. For slaveowners, the observed links between locational choice and the economic characteristics of locations are weaker. The proportion of whites in a location's population was posit…

Using Manuscript Census Samples to Interpret Antebellum Southern Agriculture
Using Manuscript Census Samples to Interpret Antebellum Southern Agriculture The manuscript censuses of agriculture and population for the nineteenth century have proven valuable in a wide range of historical research.

The Effect of the 1859 Crop Year Upon Relative Productivity in the Antebellum Cotton South

The major conclusions are: (1) More than 20 percent of the growth in cotton output from 1849 to 1859 can be attri…
