SNAAh NhAANahhN AFeNNh
Washington, d. C.--John Hope
Franklin's Militant South, fresh
from the Harvard University
Press, is important background to
thought, planning and action, in
these days OF Mid-20th Century
Southern belligerency.
Dr. Franklin, who recently left
Howard University here to head
the Department of History at
Brooklyn College, New York,
writes with his usual charm, but
is always the responsible historian.
His latest work, supported by an
exhaustive photography, traces
the martial spirit Of the South
from the settlements to the Civil
War, in all aspects of living,
through chapter titles that tell
their own story:
Background OF Violence,
Fighters Fatherland, Personal
Warfare, A Militant Century, De-
Tending the Cornerstone, Militant
Expressionism, A Little Learning,
West Points OF the South, The
Citizen Soldiery, Literary and
Social Echoes, Toward a Unified
South. Ready to Fight"
He shows the pre-Civil War
South as seen through the eyes Of
foreign visitors like the English
philosopher James Stirling, who, a
century ago, commented on its
wild justice and lawless vio-
lence," and like London Times cor
respondent William II. Russell,
who called Southern gentlemen,
travelled and well-read, lovers OF
field sports-bold horsemen and

South believed that II would win,
in a show OF arms with the North,
because IL possessed more spu-
tude and genius for war" and
every quality necessary TO rule
the Northern people" from
Southern Literary Messenger,
June. 1901 The author expresses
his own belief that the North
lacked respect for the military
strength Of the South. which II
thought could be eaited without
risk OF military reprisal. while
"the Southern hand rested ner-
vously on its pistol, knife or
/ sword"

aristocrat denounced the whole
master-slave relationship as "a
perpetual exercise of the most

shows how fear of slave uprisings
built by this suppression, gave
rise to further militancy of armed
night patrols, recruited from
planters families.
