""Why The Solid South? Or Reconstruction And Its Results"" is a historical book written by Hilary A. Herbert. The book explores the reasons behind the ""Solid South"" phenomenon, which refers to the consistent support of the Democratic Party in the southern United States from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century. The author delves into the history of the Reconstruction era, which followed the American Civil War, and examines how it impacted the political landscape of the South. Herbert argues that the Reconstruction policies of the Republican Party, which aimed to rebuild and integrate the South into the Union, ultimately failed to achieve their goals and instead created a deep-seated resentment among white Southerners towards the federal government. This resentment, according to the author, led to the rise of the Solid South and the entrenchment of segregationist policies in the region. Overall, ""Why The Solid South?"" provides a detailed analysis of the political and social factors that shaped the South's political identity and continues to be a valuable resource for those interested in American history and politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
