Hunting and Fishing in the New South: Black Labor and White Leisure after the Civil War
About this Episode
Examines the intricate relationship between hunting and fishing and Southern race relations following the Civil War. It highlights how African Americans leveraged these activities as a means of subsistence and a path towards greater independence, often to the dismay of white landowners who viewed this as interference with their labor control. Furthermore, the sources discuss how white sportsmen romanticized antebellum hunting practices and used black labor and stereotypes to reinforce notions of racial hierarchy in the post-emancipation era. Ultimately, the text reveals the complex and often contradictory ways in which hunting and fishing served as a contested space reflecting broader societal tensions in the New South.
