Edited by Matthew L. Downs and M. Ryan Floyd, The American South
and the Great War, 1914- 1924 investigates how American
participation in World War I further strained the region's
relationship with the federal government, how wartime hardships
altered the South's traditional social structure, and how the war
effort stressed and reshaped the southern economy. The volume
contends that participation in World War I contributed greatly to
the modernization of the South, initiating changes ultimately
realized during World War II and the postwar era. Although the war
had a tremendous impact on the region, few scholars have analyzed
the topic in a comprehensive fashion, making this collection a
much-needed addition to the study of American and southern history.
These essays address a variety of subjects, including civil rights,
economic growth and development, politics and foreign policy,
women's history, gender history, and military history.
Collectively, this volume highlights a time and an experience often
overshadowed by later events, illustrating the importance of World
War I in the emergence of a modern South.
