About this book

Ante-Bellum Thomas County, 1825–1861 by William Warren Rogers is a richly detailed study of one Georgia county during the decades leading up to the Civil War. Through meticulous research in county records, newspapers, and personal documents, Rogers reconstructs the social, economic, and political life of Thomas County, offering a microcosm of the broader antebellum South.

The book examines how the cotton economy shaped nearly every aspect of local life, from plantation wealth and enslaved labor to small farmers and emerging towns. Rogers explores the county's development—its settlement patterns, agricultural practices, and community institutions—while also addressing the tensions of a society divided by class, race, and competing visions of progress. He highlights the role of enslaved people, both as the foundation of the local economy and as a community struggling to preserve identity and resilience under bondage.

Alongside economic and social analysis, Rogers brings out the cultural life of Thomas County: its churches, schools, and civic activities that reflected both the aspirations and contradictions of the antebellum era. By focusing on one county, he provides readers with a nuanced and human-scale portrait of how national debates over slavery, expansion, and states' rights played out in daily life.

Ante-Bellum Thomas County stands as a significant contribution to Southern history, illuminating the forces that shaped communities on the eve of America's greatest conflict.
