Southern Environmental History

The South has a reputation for being slower in all matters of life, including environmental history. It wasn't until the past 5-10 years that the south included environmental history in their scientific journals or periodicals. This could be because the south's main concerns were always slavery, war, race, and gender. They never paid much attention to the environment. The south's history in general is also not well integrated into the main history books. The South is only referred to briefly just to talk about cotton or logging. They're obviously needs to be some changes in way we all handle history in the south.
