The article discusses the book "William Gregg: Factory Master of the Old South," by Broadus Mitchell. From 1812 until the Civil !War the balance of American political power rested with the South. But during the same period there was being stored up in the cities of the North and on the free farms of the West a new economic force which was to struggle to upset that balance. Charles A. Beard has given a vivid picture of the Civil War in terms of a social and political revolution in which power was taken by the industrial commercial North and the free-farming West from the slave agricultural South.
