Romance of the Republic-Pa

Interracial marriage serves as a central theme in this novel, which presents a progressive perspective on race relations in post-Civil War America. Through the story of fair-skinned sisters Rosa and Flora Royal, daughters of a slaveowner, the author challenges prevailing notions of racial intermarriage and the idea of slavery as a benevolent institution. The characters navigate their prejudices and confront the patriarchal society, making the narrative a powerful critique of racism and social norms of the time.
