Book excerpt: Greene County, Georgia, follows the lives of a people once burdened by the yoke of slavery through their struggles and important accomplishments of today. Located 80 miles east of Atlanta, Greene County is a place with a history rooted in faith. It was a site for many churches that began in "brush arbors," spaces where former slaves could gather for worship and express themselves freely. This volume also illuminates some of the area's most influential residents, including Abraham Colby, the county's first African American to serve as representative in the general assembly in 1868, and Dr. Calvin M. Baber, the county's second African-American physician.

This book was released on 2018-05-03 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greene County, Georgia (the Story of One Southern County) Low cash income made it impossible for the farmers to keep up the repairs on their houses and other buildings. By 1938 it was estimated that fully 50 per cent of the houses in the county were unoccupied, and unfit for human occupancy. Moreover, half of the houses still used as dwellings were badly run down and dilapidated. Back in 1928, a graduate student in'the University of North Carolina named Arthur Raper wrote a doctor's thesis on Greene and Macon Counties Georgia. It was here that the reconstruction really began for Greene County. In 1934, Raper was given a Rosenwald Fund Fellowship to make a further study of these same two Georgia counties. The result was a book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book How Curious a Land written by Jonathan M. Bryant and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the Civil War and Reconstruction in Greene County, Georgia, is a remarkable tale of both fundamental change and essential continuity. In How Curious a Land, Jonathan Bryant follows the county's social, economic, and legal transformation from a wealthy, self-sufficient plantation economy based on slavery to a largely impoverished, economically dependent community dominated by a new commercial class of merchants and lawyers. Emancipated slaves made up two-thirds of the county's population at the end of the Civil War, and thanks to an able, charismatic, and politically active leadership, they enjoyed early success in pressing for their rights. But their gains, says Bryant, were only temporary, because the white elite retained control of the legal system and used it effectively against blacks. Law also helped shape the course of economic change as, for example, postbellum laws designed to benefit the new commercial elite ensured poverty for most of the county's small farmers, both black and white, by relegating them to the status of sharecroppers and tenants. As a result, the county's wealth, though greatly diminished in the postbellum years, remained concentrated in the hands of a small elite.

Download or read book A Biographical History of Greene County Pennsylvania written by Samuel Penniman Bates and published by Genealogical Publishing Com. This book was released on 1975 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This useful offprint contains biographical sketches of approximately 800 southwestern Pennsylvania residents. The sketches are of Greene County families predominantly, though unavoidably some sketches concern families of Washington or Fayette County provenance. The biographies are conveniently arranged in alphabetical order within township and borough and generally treat subjects who were born in the early nineteenth century, with reference to immediate forebears of the late eighteenth century. Typical sketches mention the date and place of birth and marriage of the biographee; the name of his wife and the names of his children; names with dates and places of birth of his parents and often grandparents; sometimes the name of the first ancestor in America; and details of religion, education, military service, occupation, home, and residence.
