Question

According to Henry W. Gardy, how did he promote the New South? And what aspects would define it?

		The New South had to become equally competitive to the north. It needed to become a place full of industries, urban development, and massive financial investment in infrastructures like railroads, bridges, factories, and buildings. In the New South, the racial separation had to become the norm because people could not live in the same social space—same streets or neighborhoods, work together, or even live together. People needed to live separately; people knew and had to know their place based on race, according to social and historical norms.
		The New South must become a place full of industries, massive urban development, a place of enormous investment for the construction of railroad lines, and equal opportunities for everyone despite the economic, social condition, or even racial differences. All southern society must unite and work together to make the region equally competitive to the north, so racial segregation and discrimination would not have a place in the New South’s economic, industrious, and social development.
		The New South ought to become a place full of industry, urban and rural development, and small-scale enterprises where everyone could have the opportunity to do business. The racial separation in southern society had to become the norm because people could not live in the same social space or work together. People needed to live apart, where people knew their place based on race. Prosperity cannot overcome racial differences.
		The New South should become a place full of factories, expansion of cities, capitalistic opportunities for everyone, and the inclusion of all people despite racial differences. So, the promise of the southern property was not denied to anyone regardless of race, social condition, or economic status.
