Frances Anne Kemble's "Journal Of A Residence On A Georgian Plantation" - What Influence Does The Institution Of Slavery Have On The Slaves?
Number of pages:
5
ABSTRACT:
5 pages in length. Frances Kemble will long be remembered as the wealthy white woman who refused to allow skin color to stand in the way of equitable and humane treatment. As the wife of a plantation owner, the historical value of Kemble's journal describes in painful detail the realities she experienced after spending time on the family's Georgian agricultural estate. The larger implications of Kemble's account reflects the psychological, economic, educational, moral and familial foundation of racial discrimination during slavery, effectively illustrating the extent to which blacks suffered gross indignities at the hands of controlling whites. Kemble's journal provides tremendous insight as to how the very institution of slavery influenced every aspect of the slaves' lives. No additional sources cited.
