Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The South has occupied a peculiar and tragic status in American history -- it is the only section that has had to struggle with a great all-encompassing social evil. Mr. Eaton's study shows that this evil, slavery, was not often the physically cruel institution which the abolitionists portrayed -- its evil was of the mind and spirit. It was, however, only one of the powerful forces which changed the South from the most liberal to the most conservative region of the nation. In dealing with the decades leading up to the Civil War, Mr. Eaton calls attention to neglected phases of Southern civilization -- to the growth of city life, the rise of the business class, the effects of erosion and exhaustion of the soils, and the problems of social justice. Pointing up the significance of the middle class in Southern life, he finds, instead of the monolithic South of legend, a society of much variety and of subtle complexity. In The Growth of Southern Civilization the author has brought the quality of realism to the history of the South by basing his study upon a wide range of sources. He presents the drama of ordinary people struggling with the problems of Southern life -- the yeomen and mechanics, the aristocratic planters, the poor whites, the Negroes as human beings, reformers, businessmen, schoolteachers, all in the last analysis more important than the politicians and military leaders. Above all, Mr. Eaton portrays clearly and critically the psychology that underlay the secession movement and the War for Southern Independence."--Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does one begin to understand the idea of a distinctive southern way of life—a concept as enduring as it is disputed? In this examination of the American South in national and global contexts, celebrated historian Charles Reagan Wilson assesses how diverse communities of southerners have sought to define the region's identity. Surveying three centuries of southern regional consciousness across many genres, disciplines, and cultural strains, Wilson considers and challenges prior presentations of the region, advancing a vision of southern culture that has always been plural, dynamic, and complicated by race and class. Structured in three parts, The Southern Way of Life takes readers on a journey from the colonial era to the present, from when complex ideas of "southern civilization" rooted in slaveholding and agrarianism dominated to the twenty-first-century rise of a modern, multicultural "southern living." As Wilson shows, there is no singular or essential South but rather a rich tapestry woven with contestations, contingencies, and change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exhibiting a clear, straightforward style, his many works are marked by a comprehensiveness and a catholicity of view. There is hardly an element of southern thought or society, hardly a major movement of any kind or an event of any significance that has escaped his penetrating thought and discerning analysis. This volume of Eaton's selected writings forms a rich and provocative mosaic of southern life from the years of Thomas Jefferson to the close of the Civil War. These selections, perceptively edited by Albert D. Kinvan, 'show the wide range of Eaton's interests, including the impact of slavery, the influence of religion, and the art of politics, and they demonstrate the depth of his insight into the civilization of the Old South.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a chronological and interpretive spine to the twenty-four volumes of The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture, this volume broadly surveys history in the American South from the Paleoindian period (approximately 8000 B.C.E.) to the present. In 118 essays, contributors cover the turbulent past of the region that has witnessed frequent racial conflict, a bloody Civil War fought and lost on its soil, massive in- and out-migration, major economic transformations, and a civil rights movement that brought fundamental change to the social order. Charles Reagan Wilson's overview essay examines the evolution of southern history and the way our understanding of southern culture has unfolded over time and in response to a variety of events and social forces--not just as the opposite of the North but also in the larger context of the Atlantic World. Longer thematic essays cover major eras and events, such as early settlement, slave culture, Reconstruction, the New Deal, and the rise of the New South. Brief topical entries cover individuals--including figures from the Civil War, the civil rights movement, and twentieth-century politics--and organizations such as the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Daughters of the Confederacy, and Citizens' Councils, among others. Together, these essays offer a sweeping reference to the rich history of the region.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Little Treatise on Southern Civilization: With Suggestions for the Founding of Southern Economic and Political Science Associations A few years ago, while traveling in one of our Southern States, I happened upon a little pinewoods community which was inhabited by people of the class which have become known to the world as "poor whites." They were of the usual type, apathetic and ignorant. One family consisted of a father and mother and ten children - ten children to make good citizens if given a chance. I was told that the mother had recently come out of the insane asylum. It seems that she had become despondent and apparently neglectful of her children. The neighbors told her husband that she was lazy and needed a whipping, advice which he thought best to act upon, although he was known to be fond of his wife. But this supposed cause of the trouble did not prove to be the correct one; for it became necessary to carry the woman to an insane asylum, where rest and nourishing food enabled her in a few months to return restored in mind and health to the bosom of her family. Germany, in the Thirty Years' War, lost the majority of her population. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
