REGENERATING DIXIE: ELECTRIC ENERGY AND THE MAKING OF THE MODERN SOUTH by CASEY P. CATER Under the Direction of Michelle Brattain, PhD and Joe Perry, PhD ABSTRACT The emergence and spread of electricity profoundly shaped the “long New South.” This dissertation traces the electrification of the US South from the 1880s to the 1970s. Focusing primarily on the Atlanta-based Georgia Power Company, it emphasizes that electricity’s rise was not simply the result of technological innovation. It was a multifaceted process that deeply influenced, and was influenced by, environmental alterations, political machinations, business practices, and social and cultural matters. Although it hewed to national and global patterns in many respects, southern electrification charted a distinctive and instructive path. Its story speaks to the ways the South’s experiences with electrification shaped larger American models of energy transitions and economic development, but also the ways it wrought dramatic changes in the fabric of everyday life.

  • The Disneyfication of Stone Mountain: a Park's Response to Its Visitors
    The Disneyfication of Stone Mountain: A Park’s Response to its Visitors Tim Moore A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts in History Professor Robert Griffith, Faculty Advisor American University, 2010 Page 2 of 39 The Disneyfication of Stone Mountain: A Park’s Response to its Visitors ABSTRACT: The most important challenge facing parks is the question of how to maintain visitor interest. Without this seemingly simple concept, park visitation would rapidly decline and the parks themselves would become obsolete. The Stone Mountain Memorial Association (SMMA), the independent authority charged with the management of Stone Mountain Park by the State of Georgia, faced this challenge when the park was established and still face it today along with their private partner, Herschend Family Entertainment Corporation (HFE or HFEC). Since SMMA’s establishment in 1958, it has sought to present the park in a way that would concrete its place as a Confederate Civil War Memorial, mainly evidenced by the centerpiece carving of Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and Jefferson Davis, along with providing the best visitor experience possible. The SMMA and now HFE still struggle with that balance. The Stone Mountain Officials respond to what they believe park visitors would like to see. In the park’s early days it believed that the visitors wanted a natural setting surrounding the Memorial Carving. Today the park management believes that the visitor wants an active, outdoor environment for family entertainment and recreation. This change is attributed to many factors including changing societal values such as a move away from Confederate memorialization in the South and a greater focus on entertainment over more traditional static historical sites.

DESCRIPTORS *Conservation (Environment); *Environmental Education; *Field Trips; *Geology; Intermediate Grades; *Learning Activities; *Outdoor Activities; Outdoor Education; Vocabulary Development IDENTIFIERS *Blue Ridge Mountains; North Carolina; Racks ABSTRACT Stone Mountain State Park's environmental education learning experience, Our Changing Land, introduces the student to the geology of the Blue Ridge Mountains, with emphasis on Stone Mountain, through a series of hands-on activities. The learning experience is designed for grades 4-6 and meets curriculum objectives of the standard course of study established by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. It introduces students to concepts such as the rock cycle; geologic time; weathering; erosion; sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rocks; and stewardship of natural resources. On-site activities are conducted at the park, while previsit and postvisit activities are completed in the classroom. The previsit activity introduces students to the th-ree different rock types: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. On-site activities give students an understanding of the origin of Stone Mountain, weathering, and erosion. Postvisit activities reinforce concepts, skills, and vocabulary learned. In the packet, the first occurrence of a vocabulary word used in an activity is indicated in bold type.
