About This Book

A chronological study traces the Southern states’ social and economic evolution from the antebellum era through Reconstruction into early twentieth-century changes, arguing transformation was gradual rather than abrupt. It examines political realignments after the Civil War, the rise of agrarian and Populist movements, changes in landholding and agricultural life, industrial growth and labor conditions, racial policies and disfranchisement, and developments in public education. Chapters combine narrative history with analysis of institutions, elections, and reform movements to explain how persistent traditions interacted with economic and political pressures to produce the region’s modern social and civic order.

Transcriber's Notes


Introduction

Welcome to Project Gutenberg's edition of The New South by Holland Thompson in the Chronicles of America series. A scanned copy of this book is available on Hathitrust courtesy of Cornell University.

We have made the following emendations to the text:

On Page 186, coordinate was hyphenated and split between two lines for spacing. This word is transcribed as coördinate, with an umlat. The same philosophy for transcribing coöperative holds for transcribing coördinate. See the notes for coöperative in the Bibliography for more details.


Bibliography:

Near the end of Page 236, cooperative was hyphenated and split between two lines for spacing. This word is transcribed as coöperative, with an umlat. See the transcription notes for The Agrarian Crusade by Solon Buck for a detailed explanation on the hyphenation and transcription of words with an umlat.


Index:

We are more willing to make changes to the Index than we are in the text when we believe the reader may be better served by doing so.

On Page 243, change hillmen to hill men in entry under Arkansas to match the spelling of hill men on Page 6 of the text.

On Page 250, Caesar is written with an aelig in the index entry under Tourgée, but the aelig is not used on Page 131. Therefore, we have removed the aelig from Caesar in the index entry so that the spelling matches what is written in the text.
