This authoritative work of historical scholarship presents a sweeping account of the American South, charting its political, economic, and cultural development from colonial foundations through the mid-twentieth century. The volumes chronicle the rise of plantation society, the entrenchment of slavery, the upheaval of Civil War, and the profound transformations wrought by Reconstruction and industrialization. Each contribution argues with precision for the interconnectedness of regional identity and national history, illustrating how the South’s institutions and conflicts shaped broader American life. The set details the intellectual currents, legal structures, and social hierarchies that defined the region, while uncovering the enduring tensions between tradition and progress.
