Teachers of history sometimes have a hard time making big social processes comprehensible to students. Southern Journey, like the other components of New American History, tries a new approach. The maps of this book and digital project, using novel and attractive techniques, show how the Black, white, Native, and immigrant people of the American South moved across more than two centuries. The domestic trade in enslaved people, the dislocations of the Civil War, the Great Migration, and the current surge of in-migration across the South appear in compelling and comprehensible ways.
