Living in the South A twelve year old teenager is sitting in a car, and he is travelling from Washington State to Georgia. When he arrives, he finds the temperature warmer, and he finds that his new middle school is a blue ribbon school. I am that teenager, and I am living here in Alpharetta, Georgia. Living in Seattle for many years, I can say that the South is a huge contrast from the North, but there are still many things I like about the South. The climate is very warm, and the weather is really nice during the summer and the winter. It is much cheaper to live in the South than the North, and it is even cheaper to live in the South when you compare it to living in Seattle. There are also more educational opportunities in the South, and there are award winning colleges in the South such as Emory, Georgia Tech, and Georgia Perimeter College. I believe there are many things to like about living in the South, and I hope to stay here for a long time. The climate in the South is really nice, and it is a much better climate compared to Seattle’s climate. The South has great autumns, and autumns in the South have perfect temperatures for walking. My own preferred temperature is about a seventy-five degree high, and a seventy-five degree high is reached many times during the fall. The South also has great winters, for almost every winter there is snow on the ground. It also reminds me of Seattle, for Seattle has snow every year. Best of all, the South has incredible summers,
The geography of the southern colonies consists of deep wide rivers, the Atlantic coastal plain, and good harbors. These will all be positive attributes due to the rivers and harbors can be used for transportation and the Atlantic coastal plain is easy to travel on. The climate however, can be challenging at some points. The summers are very hot and humid which could be difficult to function in. But the winters are very mild and would be much better. Overall the geography and climate seem fall in the middle. The geography is an asset but the climate may be an obstacle.
The geography of the Southern colony includes the Appalachian Mountains, Piedmont, the Atlantic Coastal Plain, and has good harbors and rivers for fish and ships. The Southern colony has a humid climate with mild winters for being outside a lot., hot summers, and long growing seasons that are perfect for farming. The geography and climate will be an asset, but the hot summers will be hard to fight during.
The New South: an era of change, a time of transition away from the destruction of the Civil War and chaos of Reconstruction. However, while the institution of slavery and a cotton-based economy faded away into the past, feelings of intolerance and inequality resided in the hearts and minds of Southerners, shaping a new society that closely mirrored the old. Blacks and other minorities, such as women, remained in an underclass with strict social and economic rules as the South expanded outside it agrarian roots. William Faulkner captures the preconceived sentiments keeping the Civil War relevant in the South in his novel Light in August. He chronicles the stories of the outcasts Lena Grove and Joe Christmas, both people who break social
In 1629 King Charles decided to make England a colony. In 1729 north and South Carolina a colony. The colony's were taken over by the King and started to be a colony. The first settlement was Charles Town’s. England was one of the colonies.
The thesis of the book is that segregation of black and whites was developed later in life than it did when slavery was just introduce. In the earlier years blacks and white would live within the same residence and or property, sharing the same premises if not equal facilities. The black and white would attend the same church and sit in the pews. As life progress and economics and Political conflicts took place that’s when the segregation began.
The New South was mostly about development and growth that started to gradually increase after 1877 on into the 1900s. Iron and steel were the main contributors followed by tobacco and timber. Steel mills were popping up all over the south which provided numerous jobs and a better way of living. The downside was the effect it had on the farm industry due to the fact that cotton was cheap and so was labor. As a result most of the people preferred to work in the factories which paid higher wages.
The Northern states had the pleasure of discovering abundant resources of coal. In addition, Richmond faced difficulties because of their existence on the margins of a plantation economy. Even though this was the nation’s first mine, it had various disadvantages that would not let it compete on an industrious scale. In the following paragraph, I will discuss how the South had a secret hand in textile mills within the United States.
Throughout American history, the south and the north have consistently held different beliefs on how to handle some subjects. Whether it ranged from slavery, to taxing, or to business, southerners and northerners often seemed to be on opposite sides of the spectrum. It was not any different back in the 1800’s. Though intensely different, they were still part of the same country. One of the biggest issues that made the north and the south so distinct from one another was their view and perspective on slavery. The north, who was considered mostly republican, saw slavery as something that needed to be abolished for it was a great sin committed by mankind; while the south, who were mostly considered democrats, viewed it as a necessity for they considered African-Americans a race that needed to be controlled because they were less intelligent than the white man but very violent and because they were “built” for the hard labor. Over the 1800’s they had been a tension built between the two sides of the country. The tension rose to a boiling point when the 1860 election rolled around. After the elections occurred, a chain of events followed which would leave a lasting impact on the current United States. In the heart of these events was the civil war. To this day, it is very debatable that the war started because of the unsure future of slavery under new leadership.
I grew up in the south. Growing up there was like growing up anywhere else I suppose. Woke up, went to school, came home, ate dinner, and went to sleep. Nothing exciting or special. Just a basic 17 year-long routine.
Climate, geography, economic, incentives, and the degree of agricultural diversion which contributed to the distinctive character of various region. Florida, Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana are the lower south, and Maryland, Delaware, Kentucky, and Missouri are the Upper south. Upper south has less dominant of slavery. They did not rely on slavery for their work demand. Upper south is specialized was corn, tobacco etc.
Life in the South and life in the North were two different places. They both had different ways of life and how they thought. Geography was one way that life was different, so they had different ways to adapt to their environment. Economy was another, the South farmed while the North has factories. The last way was transportation. The North have double the amount of railroads compared to the South.

4. What was the Democrat’s “Solid South”? How does this seem different from the political South of today?
When reading The South vs. The South I come across the problem that the white Southerners had with the Republican wanting to free slaves. The problem persisted as the war continued. The view of white Southerners and Republicans which were led by the president Lincoln were different.
Roughly 45-50,000 years ago the South Sister that is also known as Charity began its primary formation. It is the youngest of the three sisters and currently the tallest. According to https://www.volcanodiscovery.com/ this time period is known as the Rock Mesa Eruptive Cycle and it is during this cycle that the middle sister also began forming. According to https://volcanoes.usgs.gov these early eruptions produced many rhyolite lava flows and domes. Between 30-37,000 years ago the main cone of the south sister began to form consisting of rhyolite and andesite domes and flows. The construction of the dome was then completed and capped off by a massive eruption that left pyroclastic deposits up to 200 meters in depth. Following this eruption a period of roughly 7000 years began that consisted of relatively large eruptions of andesite and lava fountains. According to https://volcanoes.usgs.gov these lava fountains fed lava flows that built up the apron of the cone and the initial summit crater. This crater was later filled up and built upon by dactite flows, which now make up roughly the upper 150 meters of todays South Sister.
