Topsy-Turvy Dolls became                          popular in the southern United States around the time preceding                          the American Civil War. These dolls could have been made for                          slave children by their mothers so they could have a "hidden                          doll" when the master was around. Or, the dolls could have                          beeen made for the child(ren) of the slave owner so that they                          could roll play. The specific reason(s) and origin for these                          "turnabout dolls" are unknown, but they became very                          popular dolls.
