Week of March 12, 2001
For Tuesday, March 13,
We finish catching up today. I want to spend some time talking about share cropping and the share cropper's life. I'll also spend some time talking about possible project topics.
For Thursday, March 15
READ: in The South, A History,
Chapter 18, "The Redeemers and the New South, 1865-1890 425 - 451
Chapter 19, "A Different South Emerges: Rails, Mills, and Towns" 452 - 485Don't let yourself get too bogged down in the graphs and charts here, though you need to be able to understand what they are and what they purport to show. You should be able to distinguish between a "Redeemer" and a "Bourbon Democrat," however, and understand what was meant by the "New South Creed."
