Beschreibung:

Henry W. Grady, a prominent journalist and editor, coined the term "New South" in the late 19th century to describe a vision for the Southern United States that embraced industrial development and economic diversification, moving away from its traditional agrarian economy. His advocacy for industrial growth, integration into the national economy, and a reduced dependence on cotton sought to redefine the South's identity and improve its standing in the post-Civil War era.
