The term "New South" refers to a post-Civil War vision for the southern United States aimed at economic modernization and diversification, moving away from its reliance on agriculture, particularly cotton. Advocates like Henry Grady promoted industrialization, urbanization, and attracting northern investment to create a more progressive and self-sufficient economy. The New South movement sought to reshape the region's identity and improve social conditions, though it often retained elements of racial segregation and inequality. Ultimately, it reflected a complex blend of ambition and the enduring legacy of the Old South.
