Letter : to Judge Kershaw, 1878 Feb. 11.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/753955888

Letter to Judge Joseph B. Kershaw in Camden (S.C.) concerns the importance of the University of the South in Sewanee (Tenn.) remaining a distinctly Southern institution, combining both the religious and the secular in education, and the importance of the University in the "development of a genuine Southern Culture, having its basis in all that is pure and true and noble and good, all that is Christian in short in Southern tradition." McCrady also discusses the opposing ideals of government held by the South and the North, the North's "divorce" from Christianity, and the dangers of the imposition of Northern culture and education on Southerners. "Political conquest alone does not annihilate a people. For that result another conquest is necessary, a conquest whose campaign but begins when the political subjugation is complete. It is the conquest of the mind of the conquered by the mind of the conqueror."
