Partners in Brutality
Nicholas Guyatt, November 18, 2021, The New York Review
Nicholas Guyatt reviews Joshua D. Rothman’s The Ledger and the Chain and Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers’ They Were Her Property.
In the decades after the Civil War, when white southerners created the
mythology of the Lost Cause, they depicted slavery as a benign
institution that uplifted and protected a childlike people. But even the
most creative nostalgists for the Old South struggled to justify the
slave trade. For Mary Norcott Bryan of North Carolina, who in A Grandmother’s Recollection of Dixie (1912)
spun tales of the “friendly relation that existed between master and
slave,” a visit to the auction block in New Orleans was a painful
memory. “The slave market I did not like,” she wrote. “That was really
the only objectionable thing about slavery, the being bought and sold.”
Another enslaver, Letitia Burwell of Virginia, rhapsodized in her
1895 memoir over the “mutual affection existing between the white and
black races” in the South. But the “class of men in our State who made a
business of buying negroes to sell again farther south” were a breed
apart: “These we never met, and held in horror.”
