NATCHEZ ABOVE THE RIVER
Give me a few minutes and let me take you to Natchez. The year is eighteen sixty. The tension is great between the North and the South. The antebellum South wanted to keep cotton king. It was the most exported product of the United States at that time. The masters of the great plantations needed their slaves to produce this crop of gold.
There were Southerners that didn’t believe that one man should own another. Most of the South wanted the Federal Government to leave their way of life alone. Many didn’t want to give up their slaves however they didn’t want to leave the Union. They looked at the Northern factory's employees as the North’s slaves. The Missouri Compromise and The Compromise of Eighteen Fifty did not solve this monumental problem.
Natchez high above the Mighty Mississippi River was a Southern city of the antebellum South. This beautiful city with its Southern mansions wanted to whip those Yankees in a couple of months and go on with their life. There were a few families that found themselves in the middle of Natchez that had strong Union ideas. They could hear the winds crackle with the flames of war.
“Natchez Above The River” is the first of my series of books about the Civil War. Theresa Shaw, Tess must become a woman in the raging Civil War. She faced betrayal, the grueling work in her father’s hospital, and the importance of family ties. She must learn to forgive and trust before she can love a second time.
