Excerpt from Great Debates in American History, Vol. 8 of 14: From the Debates in the British Parliament on the Colonial Stamp Act (1764-1765) To the Debates in Congress at the Close of the Taft Administration (1912-1913) Since democracy means constant social growth and social mobility, is Southern life becoming demo cratic or is it remaining stable, or going back to an essentially aristocratic structure?

Is it equal to the task of assimilating the master race and the freed race? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
