This video is created for the Humanities (HSS 205) Class "Technology & American Society" at Northeastern Technical College. In Part 6: "Regionalism and Westward Migration The Deep South," instructor J. Michael Jeffries describes the impact of Regionalism and Westward Migration on the American landscape of the Deep South. As more peoples immigrated to the United States the line of expansion progressed farther west. Settlers carried with them the regional ideas and expanded on them to adapt to the dry and hot climate of the Deep South. This linked the Deep South more closely with the Middle and Lower North American Colonies as they cling to agriculture, particularly cotton, and the use of slave labor. For further reference please see Frederick Jackson Turners "The Frontier in American History" (1893).
