![]() Old tool collectors claim the steel made with charcoal is better than the steel made with coal. During industrialization, with the largest deposits of coal in the world underfoot, Americans cut down most of the old growth Appalachian forests to make charcoal, in order to make steel. But large scale exports were agricultural, earliest in VA. ![]() I imagine they were more like self sustaining communes than anything else. There was some bad religious stuff going on in the Massachusetts colony, the Puritans, pretty severe punishment for sinners. I think industrialization was predated by agriculture by about a century in the colonies. Industrialization made cotton king, the looms demanded it. Tobacco was the first big crop, as in Virginia, and it moved west and south, cotton came later in the deep south, also rice in SC. It wasn't the Bible, it was the church, both black and white churches taught segregation, white churches taught others were inferior to whites, also that other religions and protestant sects were inferior, meaning false prophecy. Not sure the Bible was the determining factor in creating slavery.īut I am told many abolitionists were inspired by the Bible. I've always been told the Southern states were agricultural and the Northern states were industrial. A 1978 study by Charles Heatwole identified the Bible Belt as the region dominated by 24 fundamentalist Protestant denominations, corresponding to essentially the same area mapped by Zelinsky. On the other hand, areas in the South which are not considered part of the Bible Belt include heavily Catholic Southern Louisiana, central and southern Florida, which have been settled mainly by immigrants and Americans from elsewhere in the country, and overwhelmingly Hispanic South Texas. In addition, the Bible Belt covers most of Missouri and Kentucky and southern parts of Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. The region thus defined included most of the Southern United States, including most of Texas and Oklahoma in the southwest, and in the states south of the Ohio River, and extending east to include central West Virginia and Virginia south of Northern Virginia. In a 1961 study, Wilbur Zelinsky delineated the region as the area in which Protestant denominations, especially Southern Baptist, Methodist, and evangelical, are the predominant religious affiliation. The name "Bible Belt" has been applied historically to the South and parts of the Midwest, but is more commonly identified with the South. ![]() and the AL Republican corruption on the whole. Seems to me Republicans have seized opportunities for oppression rather than whatever it was you were trying to say.ĭenying health care in the southern states by not participating in state run markets, as well as denying Medicaid to many, which is the carrot for participation, is happening in GA and AL, and check out the AL governor situation. ![]() Atlanta is meanwhile not wasting time attempting to take the 2017 NBA all star game away from Charlotte. ![]() Meanwhile, NFL threatens to take away the Super Bowl in Atlanta if the law is passed, along with a bunch of lesser conventions and meetings scheduled here. Question remains if the legislature can override his veto. Interesting how NC has passed a law allowing religious based discrimination against LGBT, and GA has passed that law, but the governor (R) won't sign it. I thought you had supported state's rights to secede, which would have changed history quite a bit. Finally ending oppression began with republicans, and as we can see, ended with them in the places where it was most prominent. ![]()
