Old South
Geographically, the U.S. states known as the Old South are those in the Southern United States that were among the original Thirteen Colonies. The region term is differentiated from the Deep South and Upper South. From a cultural and social standpoint, the "Old South" is used to describe the rural, agriculturally-based, slavery-reliant economy and society in the Antebellum South, prior to the American Civil War (1861–65), in contrast to the "New South" of the post-Reconstruction Era. Culture The social structure of the Old South was made an important research topic for scholars by Ulrich Bonnell Phillips in the early 20th century. The romanticized image of the "Old South" tells of slavery's plantations, as famously typified in ''Gone with the Wind'', a blockbuster 1936 novel and its adaptation in a 1939 Hollywood film, along with the animated Disney film, '' Song of the South'' (1946). Prior to the Civil War, Southerners were never regarded as a distinctive people, s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
