8 Grade Social Studies New South to World War I Unit Information 8th Grade Social Studies New South to World War I Unit Information Milestones Domain/Weight: History 47% Purpose/Goal: After the Civil War and Reconstruction period, Atlanta began its “rise from the ashes” and slowly became one of the more important cities in the South, proving it by hosting events such as the International Cotton Exposition. Henry Grady began to champion the cause of the “New South,” one that was industrial and self-sufficient. Entrepreneurs, both black and white, developed new services and products. One example was Alonzo Herndon, who rose from slavery to eventually own the most profitable African-American business in the country. It was also a time of terrible racism and injustice. Segregation and “Jim Crow” were the law of the land. The KKK reorganized after the murder of Mary Phagan, and this time targeted not only blacks, but Jews, Catholics, and immigrants as well. Tom Watson gained greater notoriety after he changed his position and became an ardent segregationist and anti-Semite. Additionally, Atlanta the “city too busy to hate” experienced the worst race riot in its history. During this period of racial strife, several successful African-American men became well known throughout the country for their work with civil rights. This group of men included educators W.E.B. Dubois, Booker T. Washington, along with Georgian John Hope. In addition, women, such as Rebecca Felton and Lugenia Burns Hope, made important contributions to the state.

Ninety-two women were initially sworn in to the 112th Congress, two women Democratic House Members have since resigned, and four others have been elected. This number (94) is lower than the record number of 95 women who were initially elected to the 111th Congress. The first woman elected to Congress was Representative Jeannette Rankin (R-MT, 1917-1919, 1941-1943). The first woman to serve in the Senate was Rebecca Latimer Felton (D-GA). She was appointed in 1922 and served for only one day. A total of 278 women have served in Congress, 178 Democrats and 100 Republicans. Of these women, 239 (153 Democrats, 86 Republicans) have served only in the House of Representatives; 31 (19 Democrats, 12 Republicans) have served only in the Senate; and 8 (6 Democrats, 2 Republicans) have served in both houses. These figures include one non-voting Delegate each from Guam, Hawaii, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Currently serving Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) holds the record for length of service by a woman in Congress with 35 years (10 of which were spent in the House).

    SS8H7abcd SUMMARY - The New South – Racism – Civil Rights Activists of the Early 20th Century SS8H7a Evaluate the impact the Bourbon Triumvirate, Henry Grady, International Cotton TOM WATSON and the POPULIST POLITICAL PARTY Exposition, Tom Watson and the Populists, Rebecca Latimer Felton, the 1906 Atlanta Riot, the Leo Frank Case, and the county unit system had on Georgia during this period. As a US Congressman and Senator from Georgia and leader of the Populists Political Party, Tom Watson helped support Georgia’s poor and struggling farmers. He created the RFD (Rural Free Delivery) which helped deliver US mail to people living in rural areas that helped build roads and bridges. Tom Watson opposed (was against) the New South movement and many of the conservative Democrat politicians. He believed that new industry in the South only helped people living in urban areas and did not benefit rural farmers. Early in his career Tom Watson tried to help both white AND black sharecroppers, but later in politics he became openly racist. COUNTY UNIT SYSTEM Elections were decided by a unit vote and not by a popular vote of the people. The population in each county determined how many unit votes a candidate would receive. There were 8 Urban counties that had the most population, but they only received six unit votes each. There were 30 Town counties that received four unit votes each. Finally, there were 121 Rural counties that received 2 unit votes each. This allowed small rural counties to have a lot of power in politics, however, the majority of the population of Georgia resided in Urban and Town counties.

PRISM: A Journal of Regional Engagement The South vs Leo Frank: Effects of Southern Culture on the Leo Frank Case 1913-1915 Kellye Cole Carolyn Dupont, PhD Eastern Kentucky Eastern Kentucky University University Abstract: In 1915, a young man from New York became the only Jewish person ever lynched in America. This paper analyzes primary and secondary sources including newspapers, magazines and personal accounts to consider the events that led to Leo Frank’s death in Georgia. Anti-Semitism, populism, racism, and newspaper coverage all infected the case. Despite extensive analysis in historical and popular works, the culture of Southern honor has typically been relegated to a minor role in the case. This study challenges the widely held assumption that anti-Semitism was the main impetus for the lynching and instead focuses on the culture of Southern honor as the ultimate cause.

The book launched my professional academic career in 1968. It is still read today. I am gratified by its reception and staying power. However, as a graduate student I had no intention of writing what is now called "social history." I thought of myself as a "po­ litical" historian. But after I passed my doctoral oral examinations at Columbia University in 1963, my wife suggested that I consider choosing and researching a more contemporary topic: civil rights. Professor William E. Leuchtenburg approved the idea. Upon leav­ ing Dr. Leuchtenburg's office, I mentioned to a woman in the eleva­ tor, whom I had never seen before or since, that I was going to write on the civil rights movement. She replied, "Remember, the Jews were involved in civil rights before it became a Negro issue." I took her remark to heart, went home, called a friend who had just finished a dissertation on the history of the American Jewish Committee, and asked him if he had any suggestions for me.

  • Andrew Sledd Revisited Terry L. Matthews, Phd / Mount Airy, North Carolina
    Journal of Southern Religion, Volume 6 (December 2003) The Voice of a Prophet: Andrew Sledd Revisited Terry L. Matthews, PhD / Mount Airy, North Carolina In 1902, Andrew Sledd, a professor of Latin at Emory College published “a strong denunciation of lynching in the Atlantic Monthly.” The furor that followed the article’s appearance led the president of Emory, James Dickey, “to ask for Sledd’s resignation.” For the next 100 years, Emory University sought to gloss over or ignore this stain on its institutional soul.1 Not until April 2002, at a special symposium held to commemorate the controversy, did the University act to “right a wrong committed a century ago by revisiting the ‘Sledd affair’ and reflecting on its meaning for Emory today.”2 Indeed, Andrew Sledd’s life and work had meaning far “A man with the beyond the borders of the Emory campus. He was one of the key figures responsible for undermining the ruling courage of his orthodoxies of race, education and religion that held convictions, Sledd Southern culture in an iron grip for far too long. Although was prepared to pay hardly perfect, Sledd was one of those rare persons who a high price for his possessed the character and courage to labor heroically dissent as he for a new South, even though he was only able to see and greet it from afar. A self styled “Apostle of the New embarked on a life South,” Sledd spoke out forcefully against the “infidelity long struggle against of the orthodox” proclaiming a gospel of “righteousness the ‘blind adherents’ and social service” that would inspire his students at Emory College and the Candler School of Theology to of racism, anti- 3 intellectualism, and become agents of change across the region.

The effect of this on-going, scholarly ‘explosion’, in which both black and white historians are actively engaged, is both manifold and wide-reaching for in illuminating myriad aspects of African American life and culture from the colonial period to the very recent past it is simultaneously, and inevitably, enriching our understanding of the entire fabric of American social, economic, cultural and political history. Perhaps not surprisingly the depth and breadth of coverage received by particular topics and time-periods has so far been uneven.
