Book Discussion | Plantation Goods: A Material History of American Slavery by Seth Rockman

Book Discussions, November 13, 2024, 11/13/2024, Plantation Goods: A Material History of American Slavery by&nbsp;Seth Rockman

Wednesday, November 13, 2024, 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm

Free

Historian and author Seth Rockman discusses his new book, Plantation Goods: A Material History of American Slavery, with fellow writer Stephanie McCurry.

The industrializing North and the agricultural South—that’s how we have been taught to think about the United States in the early nineteenth century. But in doing so, we overlook the economic ties that held the nation together before the Civil War. We miss slavery’s long reach into small New England communities, just as we fail to see the role of Northern manufacturing in shaping the terrain of human bondage in the South. Using plantation goods—the shirts, hats, hoes, shovels, shoes, axes, and whips made in the North for use in the South—historian Seth Rockman locates the biggest stories in American history in the everyday objects that stitched together the lives and livelihoods of Americans—white and Black, male and female, enslaved and free—across an expanding nation.

By following the stories of material objects, such as shoes made by Massachusetts farm women that found their way to the feet of a Mississippi slave, Rockman reveals a national economy organized by slavery—a slavery that outsourced the production of its supplies to the North, and a North that outsourced its slavery to the South. Melding business and labor history, Plantation Goods brings northern industrialists, southern slaveholders, enslaved field hands, and paid factory laborers into the same picture. Examining producers and consumers linked in economic and moral relationships across great geographic and political distances, Plantation Goods brings together lines of American history that have for too long been told separately, as slavery and capitalism converge in something as deceptively ordinary as a humble pair of shoes.
