A New South Rebellion: The Battle Against

In 1891, Tennessee miners rose up against the use of convict labor by the state's coal companies. Karen Shapiro uses the convict wars to analyze the place of convict labor in southern economic development, bringing to life the hopes that rural southerners invested in industrialization and the political tensions that could result when their aspirations were not met.
