While there were many various topics to choose from, I find that I have somewhat of an
advantage in topic choice simply because I am in LBST 2101 “Western History and Culture”.
‘The class takes an in-depth look at how Capitalism in the South really spurred the economic
growth of the Antebellum South, but not only the Antebellum South, the entire country as a
Whole. Aside from that key source of information 1 will be talkin with my grandfather who lives

My Interest in this Topic
My interest for this project really stems from an ongoing process into evaluating who

years.
