I need you to do my homework n 4 hours
Historians have been fascinated by the sectionalism that took place in the country just prior to the Civil War. The South, and/or Southerners that lived through this period held on to that lost dream for many decades after the end of the War of Northern Aggression. They held onto the belief as espoused by a North Carolina newspaper editor in that he defined Southerners as a mythological people, created half out of a dream and half out of slander, who live in a still legendary land. Think about what you have read in the textbook and what you know from other sources. After thinking about the statement above and considering your response, answer the following questions. How diverse was the Souths economy, and what was its unifying feature? How did dependence on agriculture and slavery shape the distinctive culture of the Old South? Why did southern whites who did not hold slaves defend the peculiar institution? How did enslaved people respond to their bondage during the antebellum period? How did free persons of color fit into southern society? Answer the questions in essay style.
