Historic Sketches Of The South PDF Download

Excerpt from Historic Sketches of the South The early settlers who have left their impress on American life and character were of the same country and traditions, but their manners and ideals had been developed by the Opposing forces which began to stir England during the Renais sance - a hundred and fifty years before the Refor mation - forces of which our own Civil War seems as direct a sequence as were the religio-political feuds of the 16th and 17th century England. In the New World the exponents of these contrasting forces were divided for the first century and a half by what afterwards became known as Mason's and Dixon's Line and by vast areas of uninhabited wilderness.
