The Texas Lowcountry: Slavery and Freedom on the Gulf Coast, 1822-1895 by John R. Lundberg
This book examines slavery and Reconstruction in what the author calls the lowcountry – Brazoria, Fort Bend, Matagorda, and Wharton Counties. By 1861, more than 70% of this regional population were enslaved people. These demographics established the Texas Lowcountry as a distinct region in terms of population and social structure. This book explores the region as a borderland, chronicles the history of the enslavers and the enslaved, and details the experiences of freed people in the region during Reconstruction.
