Bitter Harvest:The South Carolina Low Country in Historical Perspective
分析了18世纪南卡罗来纳低地经济快速崛起后陷入停滞和衰退的原因，指出依赖奴隶制种植园单一作物生产是根本症结，对研究区域经济兴衰和奴隶制经济有参考价值。
The factors responsible for the South Carolina Low Country's rapid economic rise in the eigthteenth century and for the area's subsequent lapse into stagnation and decline are described and analyzed. The conclusion is that the rise and fall of the Low Country grew out of the white settlers' early economic commitment to the production of plantation staples with bound labor. The Low Country was locked into a pattern of economic development that required a high demand for low country staples. When demand for low country staples abated, the area faced economic ruin.
