Number of Pages: 1 (Double Spaced) Writing Style: Turabian Number of sources: 3 Answer: Do you believe the New South Dream was possible in the aftermath of the Civil War? you will answer the questions (YES/NO) and then provide THREE pieces of evidence supporting your answer. Your post will follow this format: YES/NO, the New South dream WAS/WAS NOT possible. Evidence 1: Clearly state your first piece of evidence in the first sentence. Explain why you think this evidence supports your argument in the next 1-2 sentences, bringing in historical details. Provide your citation for this source Evidence 2: Repeat above format in a NEW paragraph. Evidence 3: Repeat above format in a NEW paragraph. Only books as reference!!! • Jones, et al. Created Equal, 4th edition, vol. 2 • Broesamle and Arthur, Clashes of Will: Great Confrontations That Have Shaped Modern America • Argersinger, The Triangle Fire: A Brief History with Documents THE "RULE OF THREE" You will need to use an analytical writing style in this class. The basic form of analytical writing utilizes the "Rule of Three." Simply, there should be at least three key points/pieces of evidence in a piece of writing introduced by a strong clear thesis. In a paragraph length writing (like this exercise) your FIRST sentence would be the thesis statement. The thesis statement is the roadmap for the rest of the paper, telling the reader where you are going. There should be a minimum of three key points to a thesis. In this exercise, your thesis could simply be the phrase "comparing X, Y, and Z." Where X, Y, and Z are the key points you will be developing with your evidence (see rubric below for more on evidence). One way to compare Mesoamerica and the Eastern Woodlands would be politically (X), socially (Y), and economically (Z). If I had assigned this prompt as a longer, 2-3 page essay length assignment, your task would be a bit different. Here you would begin with an Introduction which sets the prompt in the historical context, then the LAST sentence of the intro paragraph would be the thesis above. Then the first paragraph of the body would discuss key point X (this paragraph would have its own thesis as the first sentence, followed by three pieces of evidence), then a paragraph on Y, and finally one on Z. An essay ends with a conclusion - which sums up the argument you made and ties X, Y, and Z together. Another way of thinking about it is that an essay is comprised of three paragraphs in the body of similar composition to the one paragraph you will write for this assignment. So Rule of Three means a minimum of three key points in a thesis, three key pieces of evidence in support for a paragraph length piece. For an essay length piece rule of three means three key points in a thesis, a body with three paragraphs (one for each of your key points), each paragraph has a thesis supported by three key pieces of evidence.

Paper For Above instruction

The feasibility of the New South Dream in the aftermath of the Civil War is a complex historical question that can be debated as either possible or impossible based on various social, economic, and political factors. I believe that the New South Dream was not entirely possible to realize due to persistent racial inequalities, economic challenges, and political resistance during the Reconstruction era and beyond. Below, I will present three pieces of evidence that support this stance.

Evidence 1: The persistence of racial segregation and discrimination significantly hindered the New South’s potential for racial harmony and economic development.

Following the Civil War, African Americans faced systemic racism, including segregation laws known as Jim Crow laws that institutionalized racial discrimination. These laws curtailed the economic and social opportunities available to Black populations, thereby limiting the envisioned social unity and economic growth of the New South. For example, the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson decision upheld the doctrine of "separate but equal," which validated racial segregation and perpetuated inequalities (Jones et al., 2020). This racial divide created a social and economic environment that was incompatible with the optimistic goals of the New South, which sought racial integration and economic prosperity.

Evidence 2: The economic dependence on sharecropping and tenant farming created a cycle of poverty that prevented genuine economic progress.

Economically, the New South aimed to diversify beyond its reliance on cotton agriculture and attract industry. However, the economic system that emerged, particularly sharecropping, often perpetuated poverty among Black and poor white farmers. Sharecroppers remained indebted to landowners and unable to accumulate wealth or improve their living conditions, thus stifling broader economic development. Broesamle and Arthur (2017) highlight that this system kept many farmers in a cycle of poverty, which obstructed the realization of a prosperous, industrialized Southern economy envisioned by proponents of the New South.

Evidence 3: Political resistance from white supremacist groups actively undermined efforts toward racial and social reform.

Politically, the rise of white supremacist organizations such as the Ku Klux Klan and the implementation of discriminatory voting laws disenfranchised Black voters and curtailed political reforms aimed at racial equality. This resistance impeded progress toward a more inclusive political landscape necessary for a true “New South.” Argersinger (2019) discusses how political efforts to suppress Black voters and maintain white dominance directly opposed the ideal of a unified, progressive Southern society. Consequently, political structures remained divided and resistant to the reforms needed to realize the full potential of the New South.
