Southern Culture: Institutionalized Fear and Insecurity

By Norman C. Vickers

This thesis comes in two parts.

Part one explores Southern History by looking behind the face presented by popular traditions. By reviewing Southern ideas on democracy, slavery, social organization, social class, male honor, and more, a different South appears. Plus, we examine how Arkansas became part of the South. Other ideas discussed include Native Americans, religion, pioneers, Women's place, and presidential influence.

Part two is about the cost of slavery. As the scene moves into the 1930s Missouri Bootheel. As the swamp had been replaced by rich farmland. Farmers from the Mid-West came early, the brought farming ideas with them. Slowly cotton changed the culture. This brought Blacks with them. This also brought conflict and sharecropping. Sharecropping became Debt Slavery. Followed by a change in Southern farming.
