Southern Honor Ethics and Behavior in the Old South

The glory in the south of Old South is to show slavery of morality and behavior and the crime is based on the fact that the white beneficiary should know what we know today, It is to insist that you should have. Bertram, Wyatt Brown's "Southern Honor Ethics and Behavior"; Honor claims that it is the southern dynasty before the war and is the foundation of complete slavery in the south. The white slave owner respects honor, trusts his slave and loves their families, the people they know best, but they believe that black races are evil and animal I am convinced that nothing is appropriate except for restraint.

Old South emphasizes honor. People in the southern part of the former south insist their social norms. If the violation of the honor of the southern is sufficiently serious, it will be settled through the battle. This battle was originally a European custom and later adopted by the United States. In the United States, the battle is not technically legal, but especially in Old South it is difficult to enforce the law against it. Usually men only participate in the fight; their opponents are the men they think are equal. The public opinion of the battle is different: Some people think that this is a savage and retrograde habit, others think that it is a perfectly legitimate way to deal with the insults of glory.

Complicated honor of privileged white Southerners determines the beliefs and actions of "gentlemen" and "female" that developed during the prewar. Maintaining the appearance and reputation is important. Like many societies, the concept of prewar honor in the south has much to do with dominating the family, whether it is a slave, a wife or a relative. To keep their honor and to ensure that they are adequately respected is a top priority for slave southern Caucasians. Another person's argument is to ask his honor and reputation. Insulting in the form of speech or behavior, such as calling someone a coward, may cause a breakdown that may end the battle. By the beginning of the 19th century the battle was basically disappeared in the North before the war, but it was still an important part during the civil war of the North-North Honorary Code.
