"In the immediate aftermath of the Civil War, the character of the South, and even
its persistence as a distinct region, was an open question. During Reconstruction,
the North assumed significant power to redefine the South, imagining a region rebuilt
and modeled on northern society. The white South actively resisted these efforts,
battling the legal strictures of Reconstruction on the ground. Meanwhile, white southern
storytellers worked to recast the South's image, romanticizing the Lost Cause and
heralding the birth of a New South. In Stories of the South, K. Stephen Prince argues
that this cultural production was as important as political competition and economic
striving in turning the South and the nation away from the egalitarian promises of
Reconstruction and toward Jim Crow. Examining novels, minstrel songs, travel brochures,
illustrations, oratory, and other cultural artifacts produced in the half century
following the Civil War, Prince demonstrates the centrality of popular culture to
the reconstruction of southern identity, shedding new light on the complicity of the
North in the retreat from the possibility of racial democracy. "
