A Social and Demographic Overview of the Old South
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page analysis of the social and demographic features of the old South. The author contends that the sociocultural region we know as the “Old South” is formed much more around common ideologies than it is any specific state boundaries. The ideologies which distinguish the Old South stretch back into the earlier years of our history in which slavery played a central role in both the economy and the culture of our young nation. The institution of slavery in itself, however, varied over the Old South.
This variation is due to the variation in people and circumstance. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
