Book Description
"My own observation of the real condition of the people of our Slave States, gave me ... an impression that the cotton monopoly in some way did them more harm than good; and although the written narration of what I saw was not intended to set this forth, upon reviewing it for the present publication, I find the impression has become a conviction." He argued that slavery had made the slave states inefficient (a set amount of work took 4 times as long in Virginia as in the North) and backward both economically and socially. Journeys and Explorations in the Cotton Kingdom was published during the first six months of the American Civil War at the suggestion of Olmsted's English publisher. To this he wrote a new introduction in which he stated explicitly his views on the effect of slavery on the economy and social conditions of the southern states.

Book Description
Frederick Law Olmsted was a journalist and landscape architect who is best known for designing Central Park in New York City. In the years before the Civil War, he also traveled extensively throughout the southern United States, and his observations on the region's culture, economy, and social structure were published in a series of popular books. Journeys and Explorations in the Cotton Kingdom is a comprehensive collection of Olmsted's travel writing from this period. His detailed accounts of the lives of slaves and slaveholders in the antebellum south are particularly compelling and informative.
