Abstract

This study is focused on five counties composing the major portion of the Shenandoah Valley in 1790: Augusta, Frederick, Rockbridge, Rockingham, and Shenandoah. This should be considered as an introduction to the study of the interrelationships of slavery and society in the Shenandoah Valley during the period 1790-1830. Such a study should point up the distinguishing characteristics of small-scale slavery in the Valley, any general institutional characteristics common to eastern slaveholding, and the significance of both.
