How accurate was "informed opinion" in the North about conditions in the ante-bellum South? Whittier, Emerson, Thoreau, Longfellow, Bryant, Melville, Whitman and other literate Northerners wrote frequent, influential denunciations of white Southerners. Justified as was their moral attack on the institution of slavery, most of them knew precious little about the region they discusses so authoritatively or the people whom they excoriated.

With Civil War on the horizon and bitter feelings growing on both sides, Cowles Atwater made a three-month tour of the South in 1857 to see for himself the conditions of slavery. Much of what he found surprised him and much confirmed his worst fears. In this account of his trip, he attempted an honest assessment of what he saw and heard. He asked questions, listened, talked to free African-Americans and slaves, as well as slaveholders and poor whites. Read this fascinating true story of the south just before the storm broke. Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers, tablets, and smartphones.
