- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about the Inman family of Georgia. The Inman family is representative of those members of the planter class who lost much of their wealth during the Civil War (1861-65) but recouped their fortunes in a postwar urban environment. They contradict C. Vann Woodward's theory that the New South was run by new men, meaning nonplantation elites. Instead, the Inmans better fit the theory of those historians who argue that members of the planter class evolved into the South's political and economic leaders, roles which were not new to them, after the Civil War.
