1Henry W. Grady was a white writer and editor for a prominent Georgia newspaper during the late 19th century. Frederick Douglass was a former slave who became a well-known abolitionist and author. In the following articles, you will read about their opinions on the reconstruction of the South after the Civil War. 2"I attended a funeral once in Pickens County in my State. ...It was a poor one-gallus fellow. ...They buried him in the midst of a marble quarry; they cut through solid marble to make his grave; and yet a little tombstone they put above him was from Vermont. They buried him in the heart of a pine forest, and yet the pine coffin was imported from Cincinnati. They buried him within touch of an iron mine, and yet the nails in his coffin and the iron in the shovel that dug his grave were imported from Pittsburgh. They buried him by the side of the best sheep-grazing country on earth, and yet the wool in the coffin bands and the coffin bands themselves were brought from the North. The South didn't furnish a single thing on earth for that funeral but the corpse and the hole in the ground. … They buried him in a New York coat and a Boston pair of shoes and a pair of breeches from Chicago and a shirt from Cincinnati, leaving him with nothing to carry into the next world to remind him of the country in which he lived and for which he fought for for years, but the chill blood in his veins and the marrow in his bones."
3Atlantans are extremely fond of that quote. It finds its way into print in one form or another at least once a year. … To understand the message's appeal for Atlantans, the stranger needs to know about the man who spoke it on a December day twenty-nine years after the Civil War.
4He was Henry Woodfin Grady, the ardent young editor of the Atlanta Constitution who first wrote and then, blossoming into an orator of renown, spoke of a New South - a region where old enmities were forgotten, where resources in men and land would be expended on something besides those one-drop despots, cotton and tobacco. He preached that economic betterment was the key to all the South's problems and that "waving the bloody shirt" and nursing old hostilities were profitless gestures. He visualized for that New South "her cities vast hives of industry, her countryside the treasures from which their resources were drawn, her streams vocal with whirring spindles."
5Mr. Grady came to the Constitution by way of the University of Georgia in his native Athens, the University of Virginia and work on two or three other papers, including the New York Herald. ... His friend and associate on the paper, Joel Chandler Harris, author of the Uncle Remus stories, was to write of him after his death: "His gift of expression was something marvelous.”…
6Mr. Grady used these talents to plead constantly for a healing of the breach between the North and the South and to work to bring the three "I's" - investors, industries, immigrants - to the depleted lands of his Confederate father, who was killed at Petersburg. Atlanta's four railroads were overtaxed by 1879 and Mr. Grady became fascinated by the prospect of bringing in new railroads. He visited the railroad centers, made friends with the railroad barons of the day, and spent the winter of 1880-81 in New York writing and trying to interest northern capital in the South.
7"I am firmly convinced that as soon as the South is firmly planted on her platform of liberation and progressive development and her position is well understood," he wrote back to the Constitution, "we shall see northern capital seeking southern investment with eagerness and the stream of immigration turned toward Georgia."
8Mr. Grady's first major and most famous out-of-state speech was delivered in December 1886 at the banquet of the New England club in New York. He began with an alleged quote from Senator Ben Hill. "There was a South of slavery and secession - that South is dead. There is a South of union and freedom - that South, thank God, is living, breathing, growing every hour."
