Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Opportunities in the South: Address Delivered Before the Southern Land Congress, November 12, 1918
The American people, like all others, have their actions largely determined by ideas generally current. In other words, they, like other human beings, tend to follow like sheep the way they get headed. Since the Civil War the trend of emigration has been westward; it is still; and it will continue to be so for a considerable period, unless it is broken up by some very decided and spectacular activity. The colonization movement southward up to this time has been relatively very small indeed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
