Henry Grady aimed to create a 'New South' by promoting industrialization and economic diversification to revitalize the post-Civil War Southern economy. While he envisioned opportunities for growth and development, his ideas were also intertwined with a commitment to white supremacy and the marginalization of African Americans.
