| Abstract | Woman of Color, Daughter of Privilege is the life story of an elite woman of color who lived within the social and economic systems of slavery and quasi-freedom in nineteenth-century Georgia. Antebellum Hancock County, Georgia, was a place where black slaves outnumbered white citizens by almost two to one; a place where education, culture, and even luxury were available to a small minority of the ruling race; a place where people often knew each other all their lives. It was also a place that permitted an elite, white male to father the child of a slave, raise the child as his own, and leave her the bulk of his estate. |
