Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "My own observation of the real condition of the people of our Slave States, gave me ... an impression that the cotton monopoly in some way did them more harm than good; and although the written narration of what I saw was not intended to set this forth, upon reviewing it for the present publication, I find the impression has become a conviction." He argued that slavery had made the slave states inefficient (a set amount of work took 4 times as long in Virginia as in the North) and backward both economically and socially. Journeys and Explorations in the Cotton Kingdom was published during the first six months of the American Civil War at the suggestion of Olmsted's English publisher. To this he wrote a new introduction in which he stated explicitly his views on the effect of slavery on the economy and social conditions of the southern states.

This book was released on 2023-12-01 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Frederick Law Olmsted's 'Journeys and Explorations in the Cotton Kingdom: American Slavery Through Foreigner's Eyes', readers are transported to the antebellum South to witness the harsh realities of American slavery through the eyes of a foreign observer. Olmsted's vivid and descriptive writing style provides a chilling account of the daily lives of slaves and the social, economic, and political structures that upheld the institution of slavery. Written in the mid-19th century, this book serves as a significant primary source for historians and scholars studying the Civil War era and the abolitionist movement. Olmsted's firsthand experiences and keen observations shed light on the cruelty and inhumanity of slavery in the United States, making this a valuable piece of literature for understanding this dark period of American history. Frederick Law Olmsted, a renowned landscape architect and social critic, traveled extensively throughout the Southern states in the 1850s, leading to the creation of 'Journeys and Explorations in the Cotton Kingdom'. Olmsted's unique perspective as a foreigner offers a fresh and insightful view of American slavery, challenging readers to confront the contradictions of the country's founding principles. His passion for social reform and justice is evident in his detailed narratives that expose the harsh realities of slavery and the impact it had on individuals and society as a whole. I highly recommend 'Journeys and Explorations in the Cotton Kingdom' to readers interested in delving into the complexities of American slavery from an outsider's perspective. Olmsted's eloquent prose and critical analysis offer a compelling insight into the brutal realities of slavery, making this book an essential read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of this dark chapter in American history.
