Author observes that Wessex and the surrounding areas (Sussex and Mercia in particular; also shoutout to Cedricing players) were old West Saxon rather than Danish or Norse kingdoms, and even after their formal emancipation had disproportionate and tightly-controlled serf pops
This reminds one of some of the clever RDD econometric works identifying the lingering effect of haciendas in Latin America Definitely increases my belief in the durability of certain systems of exploitation across geography and time (by folkmemes?) Compare also Russian serfdom
Wessex sounds like the Vendée of England. Diffuse rural population, woodlands, religious and social conservatism, deeply-ingrained royalism. Their treatment under the Protectorate (and their resistance to it) presages the Infernal Columns of Turreau.
Getting into malaria. The author refers to reports that the inhabitants of the Tidewater were basically sick with malaria constantly and as a consequence quite generally "[sluggish, indolent, and idle]" as well as fucking cranky Makes me wonder about observed regional moods.
You see claims about regional or national character in history. Lots are self-serving (eg la perfide Albion, the barbarous Hun, w/e) and obviously shouldn't apply uniformly to inhabitants, but I wonder if psychometric features apart from That One That I Dare Not Name . . .
actually vary in distribution across populations and time, and have an effect on history. These don't need to be (and if I were to guess aren't) principally genetic, but often culturally and here, tantalizingly, pathogenically determined. Hm. Something something xenoestrogens
"As we shall see . . . these new forms of slavery did not create the culture of Tidewater Virginia; that culture created slavery." This is a pretty profound claim on a first pass: institutions are downstream from culture. Heavy implications from this model.
I lived in Richmond for two years in the late aughts! It was really something after growing up in the upper Midwest. On the whole I liked it a lot and still visit now and then. Hit Staunton last August and had a blast.
