The South played a prominent role in early American history, and
its position was certainly strong and proud except for the
"peculiar institution" of slavery. Thus, it drew away from the rest
of an expanding nation, and in 1861 declared secession and
developed a Confederacy... that ultimately lost the war. Indeed,
for some time it was occupied. Thus, the South has a very mixed
legacy, with good and bad aspects, and sometimes the two of them
mixed. Which only enhances the need for a careful and balanced
approach. This can be found in the Historical Dictionary of the Old
South, which first traces its history from colonial times to the
end of the Civil War in a substantial chronology. Particularly
interesting is the introduction, which analyzes the rise and the
fall, the good and the bad, as well as the middling and
indifferent, over nigh on two centuries. The details are filled in
very amply in over 600 dictionary entries on the politics, economy,
society and culture of the Old South. An ample bibliography directs
students and researchers toward other sources of information.
