Excerpt from The Case for the South
This book is predicated upon the idea that the formula italicized above is as good now as it was then, and that it sets a basis for amicable race relations not only in the South, but everywhere. And to the extent that the principles laid down in that formula are ignored, repressed, or suppressed, so will the cause of racial amity be retarded.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex and often misunderstood perspective of white Southerners on race relations and states' rights in the mid-20th century. The author explores the historical, cultural, and political factors that shaped the South's unique identity and its response to the landmark 1954 Supreme Court desegregation decision. Drawing upon a rich tapestry of historical events, legal precedents, and cultural observations, the author contends that the South's resistance to integration stems from a deeply ingrained belief in states' rights, local self-government, and the preservation of a way of life. The book examines the South's Anglo-Saxon heritage, its experiences during Reconstruction, and the enduring legacy of the Confederate War to illuminate the motivations and anxieties underlying Southern attitudes. The author challenges prevailing narratives that portray Southern resistance as solely rooted in racial prejudice, instead emphasizing the significance of community values, cultural traditions, and the fear of federal overreach. By providing a nuanced understanding of the Southern perspective, this book offers valuable insights into a pivotal chapter of American history and its ongoing implications for race relations and national unity.
