Atwill Director of Graduate Studies in History *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines conflicting visions for natural resource use and economic development in the American South in the years between the end of the Civil War and the beginning of the Great Depression. Emancipation toppled the region’s economy and led many Southerners to try to establish a “New South” to replace their antebellum plantation society. Their task was unprecedented, and necessitated completely reimagining the economic structure of the entire region. Although most Southerners believed that the region was blessed with abundant natural resources, there were many competing ideas about how these resources should be used in order to achieve prosperity. By examining how these different visions shaped New South economic development, this dissertation reconsiders a longstanding interpretation of the postbellum American South, and provides a fresh historical perspective on the challenges of sustainable development in underdeveloped places worldwide.

This predominantly rural area, though, boasted some of the largest garment factories of the period. Local businessmen established a cotton mill and three clothing manufacturing companies in Tupelo, the seat of Lee County. Town boosters boasted of harmonious relations between workers and management at each of the industrial facilities. In the spring of 1937, however, the cotton mill hands undertook a sit-down strike. Five days later, the women in the Tupelo Garment Company tried to initiate a strike. Both efforts failed.

  • Techniques of Abridging the Right to Vote: Fraud, Registration, and Literacy Tests
    2 Techniques of Abridging the Right to Vote: Fraud, Registration, and Literacy Tests If election regulations shaped the Southern political system, then it is important to know how each operated, why particular types of laws were enacted at certain times, and how effective each was in re-forming the polity. Moreover, were the proponents conscious of the effects of all the various types of electoral laws, or were disfranchisement and the decline of opposition parties, in some cases, merely unintended con- sequences of legal changes proposed for other purposes? Since registra­ tion, residency, the secret ballot, the educational qualification, and the direct primary were not confined to the South, nor particular to the early part of this century, an examination of such mechanisms has quite general significance. Though the next two chapters focus pri­ marily on methods of restriction in the South, they will also briefly suggest parallels with election legislation outside the South and with legislation in other time periods. Was Southern disfranchisement only the most blatant aspect of a nationwide impulse? The LIMITATIONS OF Fraud Those who sought to prune the Southern electorate were hampered by various constitutional restrictions. The Fifteenth Amendment pro- hibited overt discrimination on the basis of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. The Fourteenth threatened reduction of rep- resentation in Congress and the Electoral College proportionate to the number of adult males disfranchised for any reason other than crime or participation in rebellion.1 Aside from explicit Prohibitions, rapid and defiant Southern action to excise Republican electors from the body politic risked a change in the national and Republican mood that 1.

  • PDF (6. the Disfranchising Conventions: "Family Meetings Of
    6 The Disfranchising Conventions: "Family Meetings of the Democratic Party" In contrast with the legislative activities described in chapters 4 and 5, the disfranchising conventions held between 1890 and 1902 in Mis- sissippi, South Carolina, Louisiana, Alabama, and Virginia are familiar to students of late nineteenth-century America. But the notoriety of these spectacles, the comparative wealth of easily available information on them, and the colorful personages who dominated some of the con- vocations have tended to obscure the fact that these assemblies were largely anticlimactic. By focusing on the conventions themselves, scholars have tended to slight the political battles that prepared the way for disfranchisement in each state and exaggerate the disagreements within the safely Democratic gatherings. The fact is that the suppres­ sion of dissenting groups and parties by legal and illegal means preceded the conventions. The contention over various disfranchisement plans has sometimes concealed the wide extent of the underlying consensus that existed among the delegates. On the other hand, the eclipse of the opposition was neither complete nor necessarily permanent at the time any of the conventions met, and both the collapse of the enemies of restriction and the consensus among its friends often predated the con- ventions by only a few months. To see the conventions and their accom- plishments in proper perspective, therefore, we must shift the emphasis to the events which led up to them. Mississippi: "Proper Patriotism" The Mississippi Democrats faced threats from within and without in 1889-90.1 Not only did the national Republicans push a federal 1.
