There are numerous interpretations on the nature of the South and southern sectionalism. In The Growth of Southern Civilization (1961) Clement Eaton sees the ante-bellum South as a multi-faceted region and seeks to present a federalism of cultures. Eaton describes not only slavery and plantation society, but also the Creoles of Louisiana, the middle class, the business class, town dwellers, and the southern mind in 1860. His approach is to record observations on the South and to reveal the humanity of the people of the ante-bellum period.
When considering the conflict and differences between North and South, Eaton asserts that southerners were shortsighted in permitting the Republican Party to define the issue between the two sections as slavery extension and thus win for itself a moral advantage. It was unrealistic statesmanship for southerners to insist on extending slavery into a region where it did not fit the needs of the people. The majority of northerners probably did not understand the economics of slavery and the unlikelihood of its expansion into the West. Finally, by 1860 the South was differentiated from the North more by the character of its upper class than by the qualities of its great middle class, the yeoman farmers.
Eaton maintains that there was not one South but many souths. Also, the southern mind displayed many facets. According to Eaton, no single theme explains the complex society below the Mason-Dixon Line. However, defense of the institution of slavery tended to unify the heterogeneous elements of southern society. Thus, Eaton presents the South as a diverse region but unified in the defense of slavery.
