The Planter's Northern Bride or Scenes from Mrs. Hentz's Childhood - Hentz, Caroline Lee

Clean, tight, unmarked; very minimal wear to inside corners; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; The Planter's Northern Bride is an 1854 novel written by Caroline Lee Hentz, in response to the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe in 1852. Unlike other examples of anti-Tom literature (aka "plantation literature"), The Planter's Northern Bride does not portray white plantation owners behaving benignly toward their loyal black slaves as had been the case in earlier novels. The novel criticized abolitionism in the United States and how easily anti-slavery organizations such as the Underground Railroad could be manipulated by pro-slavery superiors.
