South's culture of honor (1 jan 1820 ano – 1 jan 1820 ano)

Descrição:

Southern society was steeped in a strong culture of honor, where personal and familial reputation was paramount. This contributed to the South’s readiness to resort to violence, whether through dueling or in the defense of slavery. The protection of one's honor extended to maintaining control over enslaved people, which Southerners saw as essential to preserving their status and way of life.
