By Millie Mayfield

Book Overview

Progression: Or The South Defended is a book written by Millie Mayfield and published in 1860. The book is a defense of the South and its way of life during a time when the United States was on the brink of Civil War. Mayfield argues that the South's agricultural economy and traditional values are superior to the industrialized North's way of life. She also defends slavery, claiming that it is a necessary institution for the economic success of the South. Mayfield's book is a reflection of the political and social tensions of the time, and provides insight into the beliefs and attitudes of Southern society before the Civil War.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
