zoë’s Reviews > They Were Her Property: White Women as Slave Owners in the American South > Status Update

the second chapter relies more on court records and other legal documents than slave narratives and testimony, for obvious reasons. the historical evidence presented is prolific, but i did find jones-rogers analysis incomplete at many points. she often brings up other historians' analysis, but does not necessarily entirely rebut them, other times her analysis is more of an assumption. very illuminating nonetheless
