Book excerpt: Excerpt from Battling for Social Betterment: Southern Sociological Congress, Memphis, Tennessee, May 6-10, 1914 The civilization of the Old South, in spite of the severe handicap of slavery, had features of incomparable beauty and nobility. In the greater freedom of the New South, there is the same chivalrous spirit at work that produced the finest things of the old civilization. The history of reconstruction is the epic story of this dauntless life emerging from the desolations of war to aspire for a still finer and nobler civilization in the future. Readjustment has been so rapid that the march of progress is irregular. The new civilization is lacking in symmetry. Many zones of danger and infection exist. False prophets have appeared. The world outside has disturbed the South by talking overmuch about its danger zones and false prophets. Consequently, a conviction grew that the best intelligence and leadership of the South should study and improve and interpret its social and civic life. Out of this conviction the Southern Sociological Congress was born. Immediately it drew the best minds of the South together. On its absolutely free platform the new social consciousness has found expression. Leaders of State and Church have got their sense of direction. Comrades in the common warfare against social and economic evils have become acquainted. Fires of enthusiasm have been kindled in many hearts. The Churches and other forces have been enlisted for social welfare. The New South has heard the call of duty to relieve social distress. Southern patriots are mobilizing in a large way for a crusade of national health and righteousness, and already they are battling all along the line for social betterment. The Congress met in Memphis this year in joint session with the National Conference of Charities and Correction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newcomers to the South often remark that southerners, at least white southerners, are still fighting the Civil War -- a strange preoccupation considering that the war formally ended more than one hundred and thirty-five years ago and fewer than a third of southerners today can claim an ancestor who actually fought in the conflict. But even if the war is far removed both in time and genealogy, it survives in the hearts of many of the region's residents and often in national newspaper headlines concerning battle flags, racial justice, and religious conflicts. In this sweeping narrative of the South from the Civil War to the present, noted historian David Goldfield contemplates the roots of southern memory and explains how this memory has shaped the modern South both for good and ill. He candidly discusses how and why white southern men fashioned the myths of the Lost Cause and the Redemption out of the Civil War and Reconstruction and how they shaped a religion to canonize the heroes and reify the events of those fated years. Goldfield also recounts how blacks and white women eventually crafted a different, more inclusive version of southern history and how that new vision has competed with more traditional perspectives. As Goldfield shows, the battle for southern history, and for the South, continues -- in museums, public spaces, books, state legislatures, and the minds of southerners. Given the region's growing economic power and political influence, the outcome of this war is more than a historian's preoccupation; it is of national importance. Integrating history and memory, religion, race, and gender, Still Fighting the Civil War will help newcomers, longtime residents, and curious outsiders alike attain a better understanding of the South and each other.
Download or read book Remembering Reconstruction written by Carole Emberton and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2017-04-12 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic studies of the Civil War and historical memory abound, ensuring a deeper understanding of how the war’s meaning has shifted over time and the implications of those changes for concepts of race, citizenship, and nationhood. The Reconstruction era, by contrast, has yet to receive similar attention from scholars. Remembering Reconstruction ably fills this void, assembling a prestigious lineup of Reconstruction historians to examine the competing social and historical memories of this pivotal and violent period in American history. Many consider the period from 1863 (beginning with slave emancipation) to 1877 (when the last federal troops were withdrawn from South Carolina and Louisiana) an “unfinished revolution” for civil rights, racial-identity formation, and social reform. Despite the cataclysmic aftermath of the war, the memory of Reconstruction in American consciousness and its impact on the country’s fraught history of identity, race, and reparation has been largely neglected. The essays in Remembering Reconstruction advance and broaden our perceptions of the complex revisions in the nation's collective memory. Notably, the authors uncover the impetus behind the creation of black counter-memories of Reconstruction and the narrative of the “tragic era” that dominated white memory of the period. Furthermore, by questioning how Americans have remembered Reconstruction and how those memories have shaped the nation's social and political history throughout the twentieth century, this volume places memory at the heart of historical inquiry.

Download or read book The Problem South written by Natalie J. Ring and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most historians, the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries saw the hostilities of the Civil War and the dashed hopes of Reconstruction give way to the nationalizing forces of cultural reunion, a process that is said to have downplayed sectional grievances and celebrated racial and industrial harmony. In truth, says Natalie J. Ring, this buoyant mythology competed with an equally powerful and far-reaching set of representations of the backward Problem South—one that shaped and reflected attempts by northern philanthropists, southern liberals, and federal experts to rehabilitate and reform the country’s benighted region. Ring rewrites the history of sectional reconciliation and demonstrates how this group used the persuasive language of social science and regionalism to reconcile the paradox of poverty and progress by suggesting that the region was moving through an evolutionary period of “readjustment” toward a more perfect state of civilization. In addition, The Problem South contends that the transformation of the region into a mission field and laboratory for social change took place in a transnational moment of reform. Ambitious efforts to improve the economic welfare of the southern farmer, eradicate such diseases as malaria and hookworm, educate the southern populace, “uplift” poor whites, and solve the brewing “race problem” mirrored the colonial problems vexing the architects of empire around the globe. It was no coincidence, Ring argues, that the regulatory state's efforts to solve the “southern problem” and reformers’ increasing reliance on social scientific methodology occurred during the height of U.S. imperial expansion.
