Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Centenary in the South-West: Commemorating the Admission of Tennessee Into the Union From the appearance of Uncle Tom´s Cabin until after the war the people of the North and of England derived most of their knowledge of the South from that novel, from the poems of Whittier, and from the passionate speeches of Wendell Phillips, Charles Sumner, and Henry Ward Beecher. Very few Northern or European travellers penetrated into that interesting country. The soldiers and statesmen of the South excited admiration for their abilities everywhere, but the most civilized part of the world condemned slavery, and the South had to bear the odium. For years after the war the South was poor, uninviting to new-comers with or without money, misrepresented, almost friendless. In late years a gradual but great change has been wrought. Nobody now can dispute the enterprise or the unprecedented recuperation of the South. The Expositions at New Orleans and Atlanta were most admirable and most interesting; and the Centennial, which is to commemorate the admission of Tennessee into the Union in 1796, will be a golden opportunity for outsiders to see what a typical Southern community is - how the people appear in their fields, shops, and homes; how they use their resources in creating wealth, and what the extent of their culture is.
