1 1 In 1 88 1 there had been a celebration at Yorktown, Virginia, of the one- hundredth anniversary of the surrender of the British army under Lord Corn- 418 THE PERIOD OF NATIONAL EXPANSION This exposition was much of a surprise to most Northern people. They now saw that the South had wonderfully changed of late years, almost without their knowing it. Before the war that section had scarcely any other industry than agriculture. But after the rule of the carpetbaggers ceased and good order was ...restored, enterprising men opened in the South great mines of coal and iron, and built there many kinds of factories, especially cotton mills. Places that in old slave days had been sleepy little villages were now cities, whose inhabitants were familiar with the clang of hammers and the whir of spindles. The railways had been increased, lengthened, and in many ways im proved. The great crop of cotton had grown to nearly three times the size of the one picked in the year before the war. 1 Southerners deserved to be proud of the pros perity of their region, and to be ambitious for its future.
