Associate Professor of Economics, Washington State University, Pullman, WA 99164-4860 Locational Choice in the Antebellum South [Elektronische Daten] [Donald F. Schaefer] This article examines the economic and noneconomic factors that influenced the migration decisions of antebellum Southern households. It appears that nonslaveowners were neither pushed to inferior locations nor did they move independently of the economic consequences. For slaveowners, the observed links between locational choice and the economic characteristics of locations are weaker. The proportion of whites in a location's population was positively associated with the choice of a location for the nonslaveowners. This association was not found for any other group.
