A New World Gentry: The Making of a Merchant and Planter Class in South Carolina, 1670-1770 Paperback – Illustrated, September 12, 2005

by Richard Waterhouse (Author), Charles Joyner (Foreword)
4.0 out of 5 stars 3 ratings
The history of colonial South Carolina has been the subject of critical academic study for over four decades. While historians continue to revise and examine their understanding of this period in South Carolina's history, it is understood that the cultural life of the elite planter and merchant classes was not solely the product of European influences, but also those brought to the New World by African slaves and the dynamic relationship between the two classes. It was during the colonial period that many of the state's cultural and economic patterns that were to direct the state through the eighteenth century and into the antebellum period were set in place. In A New World Gentry, Richard Waterhouse examines the early history of South Carolina's development, closely following the establishment and economic growth of the colony in correlation with the cultural development of the elite planter and merchant classes.

    Interesting thing about this book is the that it's written by an Australian with a PhD from J.Hopkins.

    Having lived and attended college in South Carolina, I very much enjoyed this book as it taught me a lot of interesting information about the early history of the state's development. The author makes an interesting case regarding the influence of the culture brought to the New World by slaves and how it was incorporated into colonial society. Definitely worth your time to take a look...
