Abstract
From the publisher. Slavery was at the heart of the South’s agrarian economy before and during the Civil War.Agriculture provided products essential to the war effort, from dietary rations to antimalarial drugs to rawmaterials for military uniforms and engineering. Drawing on a range of primary sources, this history examinesthe botany and ethnobotany of America’s defining conflict. The author describes the diverse roles of cashcrops, herbal medicine, subsistence agriculture and the diet and cookery of enslaved people.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of the Botanical Research Institute of Texas, formerly called Sida, Contributions to Botany, publishes research in classical and modern systematic botany—including studies of anatomy, biogeography, chemotaxonomy, ecology, evolution, floristics, genetics, paleobotany, palynology, and phylogenetic systematics. Geographic coverage is global. Articles are published in either English or Spanish; an abstract is provided in both languages. All contributions are peer reviewed and frequently illustrated with maps, line drawings, and full color photographs.
