The Call of the New South: Addresses (1912) is a collection of speeches and essays by James Edward McCulloch, an American lawyer, politician, and businessman from Georgia. The book explores the economic, social, and political changes that were taking place in the Southern United States at the turn of the 20th century, and argues that the region was poised for a period of unprecedented growth and prosperity.McCulloch's speeches cover a wide range of topics, including the importance of education, the need for infrastructure development, the role of agriculture and industry in the South's economy, and the challenges facing the region as it transitioned from an agrarian to an industrial society. He also discusses the issue of race relations, arguing that the South must move beyond its legacy of slavery and segregation in order to fully embrace the opportunities of the new era.Overall, The Call of the New South is a fascinating snapshot of a pivotal moment in American history, as the South began to emerge from the shadow of the Civil War and Reconstruction and chart a new course for the future. McCulloch's insights and observations provide valuable context for understanding the complex social, economic, and political forces that shaped the region during this period, and offer a compelling vision of what the New South could become.Delivered At The Southern Sociological Congress Nashville, Tennessee, May 7-10, 1912.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
