Reviews
Deftly combining social and intellectual, narrative and quantitative history, Mohr crafts a sensitive and imaginative story of a society accepting change to win a war against change., A complete analysis of slavery in wartime Georgia that is a valuable contribution to southern history., Mohr [focuses] sharply and rewardingly on Georgia's slaves and their masters in a precisely those years that constituted a veritable hothouse for social change. Since Mohr also includes much data on free blacks and nonslaveholding whites, he actually deals with Georgia society as a whole and in a balanced, persuasive fashion that makes his study a most valuable one for southern as well as Afro-American history., [Mohr] delineates the economic and psychological forces that transformed the antebellum South as surely as did the famous battlefield contests, and he shows that by 1864, enlightened Confederates had accepted the inevitability of slavery's demise and were fighting for the right to deal with the joint problems of slavery and rave adjustments in their own time and on their own terms.

Synopsis
In this enlightening study, Clarence L. Mohr follows the demise of chattel slavery in one state of the Confederate South. Like the slavery regime itself, Mohr's story is biracial in character, embracing the perspectives of both blacks and whites as they struggled to comprehend the approach of black freedom within a framework of attitudes and assumptions shaped by decades of mutual exposure to Georgia's peculiar institution. By exploring in detail the changing patterns of black-white interaction that preceded legal emancipation in 1865, On the Threshold of Freedom defines central tendencies within Georgia slavery and suggests important links between antebellum life and the events of early Reconstruction., In this enlightening study, Clarence L.
