ISBN: 9780820309767.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1823, Richard James Arnold, descendant of a Quaker family involved in the movement to abolish slavery in Rhode Island, married Louisa Gindrat of Bryan County, Georgia, and acquired a plantation called White Hall--thirteen hundred acres of rice and cotton land and sixty-eight slaves. Over the next fifty years, Arnold led two distinct, if never entirely separate lives, building through successive Georgia winters a profitable southern \"paradise\" rooted in human bondage, then returning each spring to his business interests and extended family in Rhode Island.\nOrganized around a surviving plantation journal kept during two winters and one spring, North by South encompasses Arnolds career as a rice and cotton planter as it uncovers the increasingly difficult social and moral disguises that enabled him to move freely through two worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"University of Georgia Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44981220048949,"sku":"ByrdShop_0820309761","price":74.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780820309767_ae3f08a7-db33-4828-9d3d-fb7aa8e64b6f.jpg?v=1778894584","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/north-by-south-the-two-lives-of-richard-james-arnold-9780820309767","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
