About this book

Black Charlestonians: A Social History, 1822-1885 by Powers, Bernard E.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 8601422606409.

Because of its large free black population, Charleston provided a case study of black social class stratification and social mobility even before the Civil War. Reconstruction only emphasized that stratification, and Powers examines in detail the aspirations and concessions that shaped the lives of the newly-freed blacks.
