THE SOUTH. AN ADDRESS DELIVERED BY...ON THE THIRD ANNIVERSARY OF THE CHARLESTON BOARD OF TRADE, APRIL 7, 1869

Charleston, S.C., 1869. 18, [2 blanks] pp. Disbound. Very Good, but for a bit of blank inner margin wear and the absence of the wraps. A determined New South oration. Industry, immigration, and agriculture all herald a new age. Despite the good times, the pre-War South was in "intellectual and industrial stagnation," a "fatal lethargy." Although slavery was a good training ground for the characters of Blacks and Whites alike, the War's destruction of Southern hopes "was the natural process by which we have emerged into a new and larger life." FIRST EDITION. III Turnbull 465. 600 NUC 0325260 [6].
