Forgotten Time: The Yazoo-Mississippi Delta After the Civil War by John C. Willis,

Although it came to epitomize the Cotton South in the twentieth century, the Yazoo-Mississippi Delta emerged as a distinct entity in the decades following the Civil War. As other southerners confronted the need to rebuild, the Delta remained mostly wilderness in 1865. Elsewhere, planters struggled to maintain the perquisites of slaveholding delta devil mississippi state ticket valley and poor families tried desperately to escape the sharecropper's lot, yet Delta landlords offered generous terms to freed people willing to clear delta devil mississippi state ticket valley and cultivate backcountry acres subject to yellow fever delta devil mississippi state ticket valley and yearly flooding. By the turn of the century, two-thirds of the region's farmers were African Americans, whose holdings represented great political delta devil mississippi state ticket valley and economic strength. Most historical studies of the Delta have either lauded the achievements of its white planters or found its record number of lynchings representative of the worst aspects of the New South. By looking beyond white planters to the region as a whole, John C. Willis uncovers surprising evidence of African-American enterprise, the advantages of tenancy in an unstable cotton market, delta devil mississippi state ticket valley and the dominance of foreign-born merchants in the area, including many Chinese. Examining the lives of individuals -- freedmen, planters, delta devil mississippi state ticket valley and merchants -- Willis explores the reciprocal interests of former slaves delta devil mississippi state ticket valley and former slaveholders. He shows how, in a cruel irony replicated in other areas of the South, the backbreaking work that African Americans did to clear, settle, delta devil mississippi state ticket valley and farm the land away from the river made the land ultimately too valuable for them to retain. By the beginning of the twentieth century, the Delta began to devolve back into a stereotypical southern region with African Americans castback into an impoverished, debtridden labor system. The Yazoo-Mississippi Delta has long been seen as a focal point for the study of Reconstruction, delta devil mississippi state ticket valley and Forgotten Time enters this historiographical tradition at the same time that it reverses many of its central assumptions.
