Excerpt from The Fighting SouthWeek after week in the period from September, 1939, to December, 1941, the South was the first on the Gallup poll's regional list in friendliness for the British cause and in disregard of consequences. There was Senator Rey molds, of course, but the North Carolinian was a spc' cialty, not a rule. The expression of the South which the polls re¿ected was found in the attitudes of Carter Glass, of Virginia, and Claude Pepper, of Florida, two gentle men whose disagreement ou the New Deal advertised the more their harmony against Hitler and their willing ness to accept not only a shooting war but a declared one. When anything hit the South hard enough in those days to make New Dealers and anti-new Dealers forget each other, that was hard hitting. And the war in Europe did that to a lot of Southerners. Not to all of them. There were New Dealers in the South, as else where, who believed that the defense effort created both an opportunity and a need for pushing the New Deal further on all fronts. There were anti-new Dealers in high estate whose hate of Hitler was only a secondary affair with them, they were sure that Mr. Roosevelt had already killed American democracy and was about to kill the capitalist system in America, and they wondered what all the shooting was about.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
