Indeed, the North-South divide presented a challenge to the newly independent nation. With this increasing divide and conflict came the development of distinct cultures that came to characterize each region. North is characterized by its diversity and liberal views towards human rights and equality, being a "melting pot" of different nationalities, ethnicities and cultures. South, meanwhile, is most popular by its agricultural industry, specifically its cotton fields, its subsistence to the black slavery system, and conservative culture and social environment. Geographical difference resulted to different economies in the region, and ultimately, determined the cultures cultivated and that characterized its states (Beard, 2008:133).
Harper (2003) argued that indeed, the North's decision to adopt the abolitionist stance is more a function of its economy: it was easier for the North to go against black slavery because it is not dependent on the system unlike the South. The South depended on agriculture for its growth as a region, and it cannot continue to flourish if the slavery system were to be abolished, as the slaves are the main source of manpower and manpower is the main generator of the South's agricultural yield. The North, then, did not have to worry about any economic downfall with the abolishment of the slavery...
The North further opened itself to international trade, and has in fact expanded and grew its trade industry with the establishment of the Transcontinental Railroad system. The South developed into a conservative region because of continued pressure to abolish the slavery system. It therefore contained itself from the influence of the Northern states while at the same time, continuously fighting the Northern in the legislative arena in pursuing its advocacy of continued support for the slavery system. It began creating a government of its own, one that sought to preserve the belief that the slavery system is beneficial to the region (Ayers, 1993:8). These economic developments and political pressures in the North and the South, then, became catalysts that led to their development as liberal and conservative states/cultures, respectively.

By the time Chiang's army reached Changsha in early August, it had been bolstered by defecting troops of Guizhou warlords and it overran the tricities of Wuhan after which the nationalists shifted the seat of its government from Canton to the Wuchan cities.

Southern Stories Revelation of the Intrigues of Classism and Racism The two stories, William Faulkner's A Rose for Emily and Flannery O'Connor's A Good Man is hard to find are southern literature. Southern literature share common elements such as family focus, racial issues, classism and justice among others. Faulkner is one frequently mentioned writer especially in relation to the Renaissance movement during the 1930s. A Nobel Prize winner he is a
The Birth of a Nation is a bit more explicit in its message but it rings to the same tune -- southern whites are victims of the civil war, not perpetrators. Neither is an accurate portrayal of historical events but rather a symbolic representation of feelings and emotions held by whites in the pre-world war two United States. Historical evidence proves that neither Griffith nor O'Selznick were accurate in their depiction
