Description:
The phrase, “New South,” was coined in 1874 by Henry W. Grady, a newspaper editor in Atlanta, Georgia. Although textile mills, tobacco factories, and new industries emerged across the South during this time, the changing financial landscape, modes of transportation, and demands on land provides additional opportunities for researchers to discover amazing new details.
