Bloody Lowndes is Jeffries take on the intriguing tale of Lowndes Country Alabama. Lowndes County is situated south of Birmingham in between Selma and Montgomery. While most believe that the fight for civil rights was staged in urban metropolitans like Birmingham, Selma, Little Rock, etc., the fact is that the real fight(s) for racial equality took place in rural towns, where the eye of the media could not keep the majority honest. “Jim Crow was a grim reality in Lowndes County, Alabama, at the beginning of 1965.” (Jeffries, pg 1) History leads the world to believe that the black masses had reached equality by this time, often citing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, but in reality these federal acts were not enforced by a number of officials at the state level; leaving African Americans, like the ones in Lowndes County, with the same conditions they faced for the last century or so. In Lowndes, African Americans attended separate and unequal schools, lived in homes that were more like hovels, and were forced to work as underpaid and overworked domestics and laborers.
Every tax directly affected the economy, and affected the workers and merchants; it had a chain effect that controlled every aspect of the world. And as so at every level people needed to work together for their own good as well as the greater good. The geographical differences were enormous in the northeast, northwest, and south. In the South, rich soils were great for farming, however in the north the dry soil and colder weather made it harder to farm. Rivers and ports throughout the northeast were the south’s only option for export and profitability.

Bragg explains in his book how many northerners picture the south as the cover of a Southern Living magazine. The cold, hard fact is that most southerners do not come from money, but from mills and factory
WWII Prisoner of War Camps in the U.S. Allison Gladish 1st period Unfortunately, during World War II, our country had many Prisoner-of-War camps for the capture of German soldiers. The camps were mostly located in the south. Living conditions were pleasant under the circumstances. Prisoners had many privileges in the camps but also had to work very hard. The camps were all over the US but mostly in the south because of the expense of heating the barracks.
sAlso raised in the south, rednecks take the southern traditions to a flashy level, and evoke shame on the southern states. Similar to the natives, rednecks commonly are raised in the south. Although they are not faking their southern habits, they take these actions to an extreme level. Typically, rednecks live in cluttered, foul-smelling trailers in the most rural spots of the state. Southerners get their stereotypes from hillbilly families and their habits.
This was extremely frustrating and little embarrassing during my adolescent school years. I like to think now I'm a little special for this l odd gift for my name and I also like to tell the story at times. I grew up in a small quirky southern town called Many, Louisiana. Many is considered the biggest town in Sabine Parish and many people are familiar with this part of Louisiana due to beautiful Toledo Bend Lake. I have fond memories of Toledo Bend growing up.
He conducted experiments in soil management and crop production and directed an experimental farm. At this time agriculture in the Deep South was in serious trouble because the unremitting single-crop cultivation of cotton had left the soil of many fields exhausted and worthless, and erosion had then taken its toll on areas that could no longer sustain any plant cover. As a remedy, Carver urged Southern farmers to plant peanuts and soybeans, which, since they belong to the legume family, could restore nitrogen to the soil while also providing the protein so badly needed in the diet of many Southerners. Carver found that Alabama's soils were particularly well-suited to growing peanuts and sweet potatoes, but when the state's farmers began cultivating these crops instead of cotton, they found little demand for them on the market. In response to this problem, Carver set about enlarging the commercial possibilities of the peanut and sweet potato through a long and ingenious program of laboratory research.
We all know that African slaves lived in the poorest conditions possible. Due to the diverse availability of history books, we read about their
Acknowledged as a dark time in the history of America, this period of time resulted in a meal made from the inadequate ingredients available to the slaves and sharecroppers of black families. The meats and vegetables used in this period were the undesirable cuts, with some vegetables closest to eating weeds, but that was the only thing available for the black slaves to prepare for their families. From these inadequate ingredients evolved a meal that is simple, yet wholehearted and delicious. Seasoned, battered, smoked, fried, collard greens, fried chicken, potato salad corn bread, mac n, cheese, and sweet potato pie are all the results from this amazing African American heritage. Many other soul foods include chicken and waffles, chicken fried steak, fried chicken, fried fish, collard greens, black eyed peas, and much more All of these being the foundation of black Southern
