HIST 362 - The New South

The purpose of this course is to examine the American South since the Civil War. For much of that period the South was perceived as a subsection separated from the broader nation by social parochialism, political and racial intransigence, economic provincialism, and unique cultural mores. Employing a thematic approach, this course will define the New South, study the perceived regional peculiarities, and determine how those factors affected the historical development of the South and the nation at large.
