Extract

The Southern Industrialization Project (SIP), an organization of over 100 academic and public historians devoted to the study of southern industrialization, held its fifth annual meeting at Kennesaw State University in suburban Atlanta on March 23–24, 2001. In keeping with the theme of getting “past the myth” in considering southern industrialization, many of the papers presented at the meeting dealt with industry in the supposedly nonindustrialized antebellum South. The roles of labor and technology in the industrialization of both the Old and New South received particular attention. The meeting included three sessions and a keynote address.
