Chapter 6: Life in the Cotton Kingdom 6?9 Farm Journal Reports on the Care and Feeding of Slaves, 1836 Slaves were seen as valuable property and their care and maintenance was of no less importance to slave owners than the management of their livestock or crops. Unfortunately, the slaves were frequently seen as having little more value than livestock, and were certainly treated as property, to be managed for best profitability. Articles in farm journals on how best to manage and exploit slaves were numerous, even in such relatively prestigious tomes as The Farmer?s Register. Particularly noteworthy articles on slave management were reproduced in several different issues, such as this letter to The Southern Agri- culturist which was reprinted in The Farmer?s Register.

Chapter 2- The Planning of English America Most of the new world had been changed profoundly as the seventeenth century dawned. North America was largely unclaimed (the area over Mexico). And the Spanish had set up much of the control in Central and South America. England?s Imperial Stirrings England didn?t put in much effort to colonize as the Spanish did. After King Henry VIII broke with Church he launched the English Protestant reformation. At first England and Spain were allies but after the Protestant Elizabeth ascended to the English throne a rivalry with Catholic Spanish intensified. Catholic Ireland, originally under English rule sought help from Spain but they failed and England put protestants there. Many English developed contempt for the ?savage? Irish.
