Question

What happened in Georgia and the South when they created Henry Grady Sells the New South, 1886 document?

Answer 1

Henry Grady's 1886 document, "The New South," was a call for the South to move away from its agrarian economy and embrace industrialization. He argued that the South should focus on developing its manufacturing and transportation infrastructure, and that it should embrace the North's economic model. Grady's message was widely accepted in Georgia and the South, and it helped to spur a period of economic growth and development in the region. This period of growth was known as the "New South" movement, and it helped to create a more prosperous and modern South.
