SUMMARY:A New South: Industrialism and Race in the Postbellum South
DESCRIPTION:In the wake of the Confederacy’s defeat\, some white leaders of the South sought to modernize the region by promoting 1) sectional reconciliation\, 2) a resolution to the region’s race problem\, and 3) the creation of a new economic order based on industry\, commerce\, and a diversified agricultural system. In short\, these leaders advocated for the creation of a New South. But was the New South really different from the Old South? This seminar will seek to answer this question by examining the motives and results of the New South movement. \n\nHistoric Site: Sloss Furnace National Historic Landmark\nHotel: Hilton Birmingham Downtown at UAB\n\nGather with a small group of teachers from around the country for three days immersed in discussion and exploration of a single topic in American history.
