War of Another Kind, a Southern Community in the Great Rebellion by Wayne K. Durrill Published by Oxford University Press New York 1990 First Edition; First Printing Hardcover Book/DJ Condition: F+/F 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 288 pp; In this book Durrill describes in graphic detail the disintegration, during the Civil War, of Southern plantation society in a North Carolina coastal county. He details struggles among planters, slaves, yeoman farmers, and landless white laborers, as well as a guerrilla war and a clash between two armies that, in the end, destroyed all that remained of the county's social structure. He examines the failure of a planter-yeoman alliance, and discusses how yeoman farmers and landless white laborers allied themselves against planters, but to no avail. He also shows how slaves, when refugeed upcountry, tried unsuccessfully to reestablish their prerogatives- -a subsistence, as well as protection from violence--owed them as a minimal condition of their servitude.
