1. THE BOURBON TRIUMVIRATE
All three men had something in common: conservative Democrat governors who embraced the New South movement by wanting to transform Georgia from an economy based on King Cotton agriculture to a more modern industrialized economy that traded with the northern states. At the same time these three conservative Democrats wanted to keep the old traditions of white supremacy in the South during the “Redemption Period”, a period of regaining political power from the Radical Republicans and restoring the type of government that once ruled before the Civil War… The Lost Cause.

5. HENRY W. GRADY
Spokesman for the New South movement. Henry Grady used persuasive articles in the Atlanta Constitution newspaper to convince citizens that Georgia needed to become more industrialized and modern. As an orator (public speaker) he traveled to New York and gave speeches to wealthy northern businessmen. Grady persuaded northerners to invest money in southern businesses who wanted to become more industrialized. This changed and improved the Georgia economy that relied mostly on agriculture to one that started to have more manufacturing. As a result, the city of Atlanta became one of the largest cities in the South.

11. INTERNATIONAL COTTON EXPOSITION
The city of Atlanta became a place for Georgia farmers and factory owners to showcase what Georgia had to offer (especially cotton). Over 800,000 visitors came to Atlanta and viewed over 6,000 exhibits that demonstrated how cotton and new machinery could be used to make new products. This attracted northern investment dollars which helped industrialize the South and transform the state of Georgia and its cities into industrial centers. Booker T. Washington gave his famous Atlanta Compromise speech at the Cotton Exposition in 1895.

14. TOM WATSON and the POPULISTS
In 1882, Watson was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives. In 1890, based on his support of the Farmers' Alliance, he was elected to Congress, where he continued trying to work on behalf of distressed farmers. His main accomplishment in Congress was helping to launch a trial program in rural free delivery of mail. In his 1892 reelection campaign, Watson urged both white and black farmers to unite behind him. Losing that bid, he ran as the Populist Party's 1896 vice presidential candidate. After losing that election, Watson temporarily retired from politics, returning to the practice of law. In 1904 and 1908, he agreed to run as the Populist candidate for president under the People's Party banner. By the early 1900s, however, the Populist movement was waning and Watson's presidential run only attracted marginal voter interest. Despite his earlier efforts to court black voters, Watson’s racial views had evolved. Now, he openly called for black disfranchisement and even expressed support for lynching. Catholics and Jews also received his disdain GeorgiaInfo.galileo

18. REBECCA LATIMER FELTON
She is best known as a supporter of women’s suffrage (the right to vote) and she also was in favor of prohibition -the banning of alcohol. While her husband was a politician, Rebecca Felton used his political power to oppose the Bourbon Triumvirate’s New South movement because she supported small farmers in rural areas instead. As a writer for a newspaper, she openly expressed her views of white supremacy. She became the first female US Senator, but it was only for a day and under
suspect circumstances.

21. 1906 ATLANTA RACE RIOT
Atlanta had gained a reputation as a southern city that prospered under white and black entrepreneurship as evident by the success of Alonzo Herndon and Booker T. Washington. However, political candidates like Tom Watson and Hoke Smith used the newspaper to spread racial fears and rumors of black men attacking white women. An angry mob of racist whites killed 26 innocent black men and wounded 100s of others. Military troops had to restore order to the city. Atlanta was no longer the same.

25. THE LEO FRANK CASE
In 1915, a Jewish man named Leo Frank was lynched by an angry mob of racist whites for a crime he did not commit. Leo Frank had been falsely accused of killing a young 14 yr old girl named Mary Phagan at the Atlanta Pencil Factory. He was sentenced to death in prison but Georgia Gov. John Slaton changed his sentence to life in prison even though the evidence showed Leo Frank did not kill the girl. Tom Watson called for people to take action and Leo Frank was kidnapped from prison and the mob hanged him from a tree near Marietta Square. An Atlanta preacher started the rebirth of the Ku Klux Klan by burning a cross on top of Stone Mountain
because of the Leo Frank case.

28. THE COUNTY UNIT SYSTEM
Elections were decided by a unit vote and not by a popular vote of the people. The population in each county determined how many unit votes a candidate would receive. There were 8 Urban counties that had the most population, but they only received six unit votes each. There were 30 Town counties that received four unit votes each. Finally, there were 121 Rural counties that received 2 unit votes each. This allowed small rural counties to have a lot of power in politics, however, the majority of the population of Georgia resided in Urban and Town counties. This system would later be declared unconstitutional.

29. THE COUNTY UNIT SYSTEM
The population in each county determined how many unit votes a candidate would receive. This benefited county that had larger population and hurt rural areas with less population.
To help balance the votes, rural areas with less population received two unit votes, and more populated counties still only received one unit per county.
This would now allow rural areas to have more power in politics. Therefore, this system would later be declared unconstitutional.

32. JIM CROW LAWS
After Reconstruction in 1877, conservative white Democrats regained control of government through the KKK and black codes that restricted freedmen’s rights. In order to preserve white supremacy, state and local governments began to create Jim Crow laws that segregated (or separated) blacks from whites in most public settings. Schools, military, housing, transportation, restaurants, restrooms, water fountains, and even cemeteries among other public settings were segregated. Blacks received inferior facilities and were punished for entering places designated for whites only. Jim Crow laws would not be repealed (ended) until the Civil Rights movements of the 1950s and 1960s.

34. PLESSY v. FERGUSON
Supreme Court case in 1896 that made it constitutionally legal for racial segregation, as long as facilities were “separate but equal”. Homer Plessy, a man with only 1/8th black ancestry and 7/8 white ancestry was arrested for riding in a “whites only” railroad car. He tried to sue claiming that his 14th amendment rights had been violated, however, 7 Supreme Court justices ruled that is was not against the law to keep the races segregated. This ruling allowed racism to go unpunished in the South.

GERRYMANDERING
RACIAL VIOLENCE
The 15th amendment of the US Constitution provided voting rights for African Americans. Angry southern racist whites did not want to let go of their power in state and local government. In order to preserve white supremacy, Georgia politicians began passing laws to restrict or deny (disenfranchise) the right of blacks to vote in elections. Literacy tests and poll taxes were targeted to keep blacks from voting that had been denied the right to an education and denied money for their work because of slavery. However, this kept poor & uneducated whites from voting too. The Grandfather clause gave back the right to vote to poor whites if they were related to someone who could vote before 1867, however, since blacks could not vote prior to 1867 this excluded them from being able to vote. Other unfair ways to disenfranchise blacks were white primaries, gerrymandering, and racial violence by KKK.

. Other unfair ways to disenfranchise blacks were
White Primaries were primary elections in the Southern states in
which only white voters were permitted to participate.
Gerrymandering - manipulating the boundaries of an electoral, and
racial violence by KKK.

39. RACIAL VIOLENCE
Riots, lynchings, mob attacks, threats and intimidation were ways whites were able to enforce black codes and Jim Crow laws. The legal system did very little to protect the rights of blacks in the South. Hate groups like the KKK used violence to keep blacks from voting or exercising other rights that were supposed to be protected in the US Constitution. Racial violence also played a role in the Great Migration of blacks moving to northern cities.

Densely populated European countries were economic and political rivals with one another. Ethnic conflicts, militarism, and the assassination of Austrian-Hungary Archduke Franz Ferdinand were causes of World War I. The US became involved after German U-boats sank the Lusitania ship carrying 128 Americans. US also feared Germany was trying to help Mexico invade the southern part of the United States known as the Zimmerman telegram.
