Daily Question:
The old South rested everything on slavery and agriculture, unconscious that these could neither give nor maintain healthy growth. The new South presents a perfect democracy, the oligarchs leading in the popular movement-a social system compact and closely knitted, less splendid on the surface, but stronger at the core-a hundred farms for every plantation, fifty homes for every palace-and a diversified industry that meets the complex need of this complex age.
- Henry Grady, The New South, 1886, 1889

Which of the following pieces of evidence would counteract the ideal of the new South as described by Henry Grady?
A. The development of the iron and steel industry in Birmingham, Alabama
B. Industrial development in New Orleans and other Gulf Coast cities
C. The restructuring of the South’s agricultural system
D. The existence of sharecropping and the crop-lien system
