		Stinging the soldiers' home-state pride, Gary reminded them that "South Carolinians never surrender." By focusing on a reactionary hotbed within a notably conservative state--South Carolina's hilly western "upcountry"--W. Scott Poole chronicles the rise of a post-Civil War southern culture of defiance whose vestiges are still among us.
		The society of the rustic antebellum upcountry, Poole writes, clung to a set of values that emphasized white supremacy, economic independence, masculine honor, evangelical religion, and a rejection of modernity.
		Poole traces the evolution of Lost Cause ideology in South Carolina from its prewar genesis through Reconstruction and the New South era, from its romanticized agrarian roots to its appropriation by the entrepreneurial middle-class.

		Over 370 pages later he offers an answer: "a unified South Carolina could secede because the dominant ideal in her society was not the planter ideal or the slaveholding ideal, but the old 'country-republican' ideal of personal independence, given peculiar fortification by the use of fl slaves as a mud-sill class.

		In the sixty years before the American Civil War, the South Carolina Upcountry evolved from an isolated subsistence region that served as a stronghold of Jeffersonian Republicanism into a mature cotton-producing region with a burgeoning commercial sector that served as a hotbed of Southern radicalism.
		Only W. Cash's seminal "Mind of the South", the superbly myth-busting "The Southern Agrarians" by Conkin, Blassingame's somber and sobering "The Slave Community", and Wyatt-Brown's indispensable capstone study "Southern Honor: Ethics and Behavior in the Old South" are in the same league, in my estimation.
