Opis

The Atlanta and Nashville world's fairs provided a local, national, and global stage for Southerners to prove how the South had embraced a rapidly changing world. As Nathan Cardon explores in A Dream of the Future, Southerners presented themselves as modern and imperial citizens ready to spread the South's culture and racial politics across the globe.
