H-South

I am interested in critical analysis of plantation weddings. One component of plantation weddings is the participation of an officiating clergy member conducting the wedding. 

I have looked on JSTOR and found nothing. I have found online one article about plantation weddings in Louisiana literature, but otherwise nothing. 

Hello!

For a class I'm teaching next semester, I'm looking for a short book with a broad introduction to the history of the U.S.South. I was hoping for something like the "A Very Short Introduction" series. 

The class is U.S. South Family History, and the majority of time will be spent on that specific topic. But, I wanted something that gave a broad overview in order to help ground the deeper discussions and work. In the past I've taught a history of the U.S. South, so I'm aware of longer, semester-length textbooks. 

I am looking for any usage of this phrase that does NOT imply white supremacy (if it exists). I don't mean references to "southern" attributes that derive from white supremacy. In particular, does anyone know of pre-1850 usage of "southern way of life" that was not a prop for slavery or white supremacy? I became aware of it in the 1960s as code for segregation/white supremacy, but I need to know of any prior and DIFFERENT uses. Thanks.

There's solid chapter on Campbell from a denominational-history angle in Richard C. Traylor, Born of Water and Spirit: The Baptist Impulse in Kentucky, 1776–1860 (Knoxville: The University of Tennessee Press, 2015). It's well worth reading for Campbell and the Campbellites in the context of Baptists in South.
