A review by jaclyn_youngblood
The Burden of Southern History by C. Vann Woodward

4.0

I particularly liked this. I love that it was dated. I love that my marginalia included musings on Iraq and Syria. His writing is beautiful and his thesis fascinating. Specifically, this was an intellectually entertaining read because of the publication date; Morrison Dictum, bring it on. I enjoyed Search for Southern Identity, John Brown, The Irony of Southern History above all. Highly recommend if you can suspend your present-day sensibilities long enough to appreciate Woodward's writing.
