Best.-Nr. B9780807112489Paperback / softback. New. From his birth in 1807 to his death in 1864 as Sherman's troops marched in triumph toward South Carolina James Henry Hammond witnessed the rise and fall of the cotton kingdom of the Old South. Planter politician and partisan of slavery Hammond built a career for himself that in its breadth and ambition provides a composite portrait of the civilisation in which he flourished. A long-awaited biography Drew Gilpin Faust's James Henry Hammond and the Old South reveals the South Carolina planter who was at once characteristic of his age and unique among men of his time. Of humble origins Hammond set out to conquer his society to make himself a leader and a spokesman for the Old South. Through marriage he acquired a large plantation and many slaves and then through shrewd management and progressive farming techniques he soon became one of the wealthiest men in South Carolina. He was elected to the United States House of Representatives and served as governor of his state. A scandal over his personal life forced him to retreat for many years to his plantation but eventually he returned to public view winning a seat in the United States Senate that he resigned when South Carolina seceded from the Union. James Henry Hammond's ambition was unquenchable. It consumed his life directed almost his every move and ultimately in its titanic calculation and rigidity destroyed the man confined within it. Like Faulkner's Thomas Sutpen Faust suggests Hammond had a ""design"" a compulsion to direct every moment of his life toward self-aggrandizement and legitimation. Hammond envisioned himself as the benevolent paternal but absolute master of his family and his slaves. But in reality neither his family his slaves nor even his own behavior was completely under his command. Hammond ardently wished to perfect and preserve the southern way of life. But these goals were also beyond his control. At the time of his death it had become clear to him that his world the world of the Old South had ended. paperback
