Progress in South

Over a decade, South has definitely become more industrialized. Before the Civil War, north side of America was more industrialized and South concentrated on the agriculture for most of the part. As a result they needed more work force and decided to bring slaves from Africa.
As industry grew with new technologies and ideas, South began to concentrate more on industry than on agricultures. Less people began to work on farm and factories and buildings were beginning to be built on lands where there used to be farms. Now majority of Georgians work as non-farmers and live in cities. My town Fayetteville, which probably was farmland hundreds years ago, is now a town with businesses.
Other significant progress in South is fading of racism. Before the Civil War, South brought slaves from Africa and used them to work for their farms. After South lost the war, slaves were freed, but they certainly did not have the same rights as white people of the America. Racial segregations and prejudices still existed and caused many problems for African-Americans. They were treated unfairly, and many people began to protest about the racism. Most famous person for the Civil Rights Movement is Martin Luther King Jr., and racism was very much reduced after his and many others efforts. Today, racisms are rarely spotted around where I live now.
