Abstract
Blacks and whites in the South before the Civil War exercised influence in society in proportion to the range of authoritative communicative behaviors available to them. The authors define and contrast the rhetorical statuses of some blacks and whites under slavery, and analyze the more powerful forms of persuasion employed by many blacks during Reconstruction and beyond.
