Historic America. The South

The South is steeped in history. Its streets are lined with antebellum homes, where the charm of the old South still exists and where hospitality comes from the heart. Only recently has the rest of America begun to fully explore the richness and diversity of the Southern experience. Historic America: The South tells the story of the Civil War that destroyed a slavery-based social, political, and economic hierarchy followed by the region's rebirth. This book captures the South's history, including over 100 photographs that discover its diverse inhabitants, and also its unique charm.
