The New South Investigated is a book written by David Augustus Straker and published in 1888. The book examines the social, economic, and political changes that occurred in the southern United States after the Civil War. Straker, a journalist and social reformer, provides a detailed analysis of the region's transformation from an agrarian society based on slavery to a modern industrial economy. He discusses the rise of new industries, such as textiles and mining, and the impact of these changes on the region's labor force. Straker also examines the effects of Reconstruction policies on the South, including the rise of black political power and the emergence of new social and cultural institutions. Throughout the book, Straker offers a critical perspective on the challenges facing the New South and proposes solutions for addressing these issues. The New South Investigated is a valuable historical document that sheds light on a pivotal period in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
