Factors, Bankers, and Masters: Class Relations in the Antebellum South
运用马克思主义阶级概念分析美国内战前南方的奴隶制，提出基础与附属阶级过程的新概念，替代传统的种植园资本主义和种植园主霸权观点，并应用于州银行和国家货币政策中的阶级冲突。
The paper will show how the Marxian concept of class can be applied to the processes of slavery in the American antebellum South. The use of the notion of classes, and particularly the reconceptualized concepts of fundamental and subsumed class processes, provides an alternative to the received non-Marxian categories of plantation capitalism and planter hegemony. These concepts are developed and applied to Southern class conflicts over both state banking and national monetary policy. Competition among various classes is shown to have had significant influences on the nature of these conflicts.
