The South in Modern America: A Region at Odds (New American Nation Series)
by By Grantham, Dewey W.
Category: Political Science , American Government , State

Grantham (history, Vanderbilt U.) observes that at the end of Reconstruction the South was the nation's poorest, most isolated, and most "distinctive" region. This study is concerned with post-Reconstruction South and its interaction with the rest of the nation, in particular: sectional conflict; compromise and accommodation in the relationship between North and South; regional convergence attributed to such compromise; and regional specificity of the South.
