Southern History
- Scope and content:
-
Contains materials on the differences between African-American and Southern history; emancipation; the Ku Klux Klan; identity, blood and race; and Reconstruction. Because of the number of materials on Reconstruction, these have been organized into a group within Southern History. Many of the materials in this subgroup relate to a work on the South and identity that Painter proposed and researched, which she entitled "American Views of the South." Although it was not written, some of the themes for this work are addressed in Painter's introductory essay for The Secret Eye, which was reprinted in Southern History Across the Color Line, as well as in Creating Black Americans and other essays in Southern History Across the Color Line.
