Goals of the New South Vision
The old South rested everything on slavery and agriculture, unconscious that these could neither give nor maintain healthy growth. The new South presents a perfect democracy, the oligarchs leading in the popular movement; a social system compact and closely knitted, less splendid on the surface, but stronger at the core; a hundred farms for every plantation, fifty homes for every palace; and a diversified industry that meets the complex needs of this complex age.
Which of the following describes a primary goal of proponents of the “New South” vision after the Civil War?
A
The expansion of voting rights to include all men, regardless of race or previous condition of servitude.
B
To diversify the economy beyond agriculture and move towards industrialization.
C
The immediate implementation of civil rights laws to ensure equality for African Americans.
D
The integration of Southern states back into the Union with full rights restored.
