Description

The Old South: Struggles For Democracy is a book written by William E. Dodd that explores the history of the southern United States during the 19th century. The book delves into the complex social, economic, and political issues that shaped the region during this time, including slavery, plantation agriculture, and the struggle for civil rights. Dodd examines the tensions and conflicts that arose between different groups in the South, including white landowners, African Americans, and poor whites, and how these struggles ultimately led to the Civil War. The book also explores the aftermath of the war and the challenges faced by the South during Reconstruction. Through a thorough analysis of primary sources and historical accounts, Dodd provides a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the Old South and its ongoing struggles for democracy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
