This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the 27th of August 1893 a hurricane struck the South Carolina and Georgia Seacoast with such a massive storm surge it created a phenomenon that was described as a “tidal wave” because it completely submerged the low lying Georgia and South Carolina Sea Islands. Over 2,000 people perished and 30,000 more saw their homes, barns, livestock and crops washed out to sea. The vast majority of victims were African-American living under the “Jim Crow” system. Their plight became engulfed in a storm of politics and charity.This well-researched book examines the storm and aftermath as well as the economics and social history of one of the worst hurricanes in US History largely unknown and a mere footnote in most history books. As an added bonus this book includes an interview and historical perspective by noted USC professor and Historian Dr. Walter Edgar.

Book Synopsis Hurricane Jim Crow by : Caroline Grego
Download or read book Hurricane Jim Crow written by Caroline Grego and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2022-10-03 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On an August night in 1893, the deadliest hurricane in South Carolina history struck the Lowcountry, killing thousands—almost all African American. But the devastating storm is only the beginning of this story. The hurricane's long effects intermingled with ongoing processes of economic downturn, racial oppression, resistance, and environmental change. In the Lowcountry, the political, economic, and social conditions of Jim Crow were inextricable from its environmental dimensions. This narrative history of a monumental disaster and its aftermath uncovers how Black workers and politicians, white landowners and former enslavers, northern interlocutors and humanitarians all met on the flooded ground of the coast and fought to realize very different visions for the region's future. Through a telescoping series of narratives in which no one's actions were ever fully triumphant or utterly futile, Hurricane Jim Crow explores with nuance this painful and contradictory history and shows how environmental change, political repression, and communal traditions of resistance, survival, and care converged.
Book Synopsis Fifteen Hurricanes That Changed the Carolinas by : Jay Barnes
Download or read book Fifteen Hurricanes That Changed the Carolinas written by Jay Barnes and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2022-03-16 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This informative and engaging book tells the true stories of the hurricanes that had the greatest impact on North Carolina and South Carolina, from the eighteenth century to the present day. Hurricane historian Jay Barnes offers an illuminating and compelling account of the Carolinas' most recent storm disasters, Matthew and Florence, as well as thirteen other memorable hurricanes in the Tar Heel and Palmetto States, including Hazel, Hugo, Fran, and Floyd. In Barnes's hands, the examination of these powerful tropical cyclones leads to a broader view of the history of the Carolinas, revealing not only their terrifying and deadly consequences but also the perseverance of the region's people in the face of such extraordinary disasters. In recounting the rich hurricane history of the Carolinas, from the mountains to the coast, Barnes urges readers to consider the storms to come and profiles how a warming planet and rising seas will affect future Carolina hurricanes.
