Excerpt from The Ante-Bellum Southern Commercial Conventions The first four conventions (1837-1839) had for their sole aim the establishment of direct trade with Europe, although one of them (charleston, 1839) mentioned the matter of internal improvements. The next three conventions (1845, 1849, 1851) were concerned wholly with internal improve ments. The Memphis Convention of 1845 wished to bind the Atlantic Coast to the Mississippi Valley, to clear the mouth of the Mississippi, and then bind the West to the South. The Memphis Convention of 1849 was called for the sole purpose of furthering the construction of the Pacific Railroad, although a canal or railroad across Mexico or Central America was a measure of temporary interest. The New Orleans Convention of 1851 was interested in railroad construction, both east and west of the Mississippi, and the Isthmian route.

Studying the changing strategies used by the nineteenth-century southern leaders to justify their direction of the South's economy and politics, Shore shows how leaders before, during, and after the Civil War attempted to set standards of success in southern society and to clarify the relations between those standards and national prosperity. Shore offers a new perspective on southern leaders' worldview and helps clarify the enduring question of what is new about the "new South." Originally published in 1986.

Richard explores the enshrinement of the classics in American antebellum culture. For the first time, knowledge of the classics extended beyond aristocratic males to the middle class, women, African Americans, and frontier settlers, but the Civil War led to a radical alteration of the educational system that steadily eroded their preeminence.
"A forum for the South the New Orleans-based periodical De Bow's Review was one of the best-known and most influential voices of southern interests, hopes, and fears. During the more than two decades of it existence, the Review established itself as an indispensable source of fact and articulate opinion in the South. In The Cause of the South, the authors have assembled a representative selection of articles from De Bow's Review that, taken together, provide a vivid portrait of the intellectual currents that ran through the South in the tense years leading to, during, and immediately following the Civil War. De Bow founded his journal to provide a forum for the South's unique agricultural and economic interests, but in the politically volatile decade of the 1850s it was not long before the magazine took up the issues and the cause of southern nationalism and proslavery apologetics. When the South firmly, but reluctantly, moved toward secession, the Review remained in the thick of the debate, ever watchful over the region's interests. The Cause of the South is the first volume to make readily available a cross section of the contents of De Bow's Review--thus revealing the range and the quality of southern thought during more than twenty years of constant concern over the region's future. -- Amazon.com.
Set on the antebellum southern frontier, this book uses the history of two counties in Florida's panhandle to tell the story of the migrations, disruptions, and settlements that made the plantation South. Soon after the United States acquired Florida from Spain in 1821, migrants from older southern states began settling the land that became Jackson and Leon Counties. Slaves, torn from family and community, were forced to carve plantations from the woods of Middle Florida, while planters and less wealthy white men battled over the social, political, and economic institutions of their new society. Conflict between white men became full-scale crisis in the 1840s, but when sectional conflict seemed to threaten slavery, the whites of Middle Florida found common ground. In politics and everyday encounters, they enshrined the ideal of white male equality--and black inequality. To mask their painful memories of crisis, the planter elite told themselves that their society had been transplanted from older states without conflict. But this myth of an "Old," changeless South only papered over the struggles that transformed slave society in the course of its expansion. In fact, that myth continues to shroud from our view the plantation frontier, the very engine of conflict that had led to the myth's creation.
