The book examines the transformation of the Southern United States from post-Civil War Reconstruction to the early 1900s, highlighting the social and industrial changes that have occurred in the region. The opening of the book establishes a clear premise: the South of the early 20th century is a continuation of its past rather than a complete reinvention. Thompson argues that while the South has undergone significant changes, these are rooted in its historical context. He emphasizes the resilience of Southern society, the struggle for economic self-sufficiency, and the societal ramifications of Reconstruction. The early chapters lay the foundation for discussing how Southern identity and racial dynamics evolved and the emergence of a "New South"—characterized by a mix of hope, economic ambition, and lingering historical tensions.
