The Rise and Fall of Slavery in the Antebellum South
I've got several that I'm reading two I'll mention historically and one kind of church related book dwelling place of plantation epic by historian Erskine Clark. So he has a treasure trove of research and it's sort of upstairs downstairs book, a historical book on slavery where he has the primary sources from the plantation owners and from the slaves themselves. He presents you know the the humanity of the slave owner and yet over time how the humanity is degraded even as they tried to want to do the right thing but in this institution leads them to work against their own good instincts. There's fewer sources there but does a good job so any initial insights as you've started.
