Yet in both antebellum and postbellum periods they remained a people considered apart from the rest of the population. Historians, demographers, sociologists, and anthropologists have given them only scant attention.\u003cp\u003eThis probing book, focused on the mid-eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries, is the first to scrutinize this multiracial group through a close study of primary resource materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring the antebellum period they were excluded from the state's three-tiered society--white, free people of color, and slaves.
