Atlanta, Cradle of the New South: Race and Remembering in the Civil War's Aftermath
ISBN: 9781469626550 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. After conquering Atlanta in the summer of 1864 and occupying it for two months, Union forces laid waste to the city in November. William T. Sherman's invasion was a pivotal moment in the history of the South and Atlanta's rebuilding over the following fifty years came to represent the contested meaning of the Civil War itself. The war's aftermath brought contentious transition from Old South to New for whites and African Americans alike. Historian William Link argues that this struggle defined the broader meaning of the Civil War in the modern South, with no place embodying the region's past...

Offering a provocative new look at the politics of secession in antebellum Virginia, William Link places African Americans at the center of events and argues that their acts of defiance and rebellion had powerful political repercussions throughout the turbulent period leading up to the Civil War.
An upper South state with nearly half a million slaves--more than any other state in the nation--and some 50,000 free blacks, Virginia witnessed a uniquely volatile convergence of slave resistance and electoral politics in the 1850s. While masters struggled with slaves, disunionists sought...

A Hard Country and a Lonely Place: Schooling, Society, and Reform in Rural Virginia, 1870-1920
ISBN: 9780807865637 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. William Link's account of the transformation of Virginia's country schools between 1870 and 1920 fills important gaps in the history of education and the social history of the South. His theme is the impact of localism and community on the processes of public education -- first as a motive force in the spread of schooling, then as a powerful factor that collided with the goals of urban reformers.
After the Civil War, localism dominated every dimension of education in rural Virginia and in the rural South. School expansion depended upon local enthusiasm and support, and rural...

Paradox of Southern Progressivism, 1880-1930
ISBN: 9780807845899 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Focusing on the cultural conflicts between social reformers and southern communities, William Link presents an important reinterpretation of the origins and impact of progressivism in the South. He shows that a fundamental clash of values divided reformers and rural southerners, ultimately blocking the reforms. His book, based on extensive archival research, adds a new dimension to the study of American reform movements.
The new group of social reformers that emerged near the end of the nineteenth century believed that the South, an underdeveloped and politically fragile region, was...

William Link examines the fascinating history of North Carolina through the lens of strong, yet seemingly contradictory, historical patterns: powerful forces of traditionalism punctuated by hierarchies of class, race relations, and gender that have seemingly clashed, especially during the last century, with potent forces of modernization and a progressive element that welcomed and even embraced change.
