R. S cott H uffard J r . Engines of Redemption: Railroads and the Reconstruction of Capitalism in the New South
Engines of Redemption: Railroads and the Reconstruction of Capitalism in the New South, by R.

Huffard’s historical work is exceptional, divi…

Early support for railroads came from representatives in the South and frontier, who were primarily drawn into rail coalitions because of their own inabili…
Local Rail Innovations: Antebellum States and Policy Diffusion
Antebellum states were critical in supporting the emerging rail system of the nineteenth century, yet not all states engaged in active rail promotion efforts. In this analysis, I consider how local economic and political conditions, as well as the rail promotion activities of a state's contiguous neighbors, impacted a legislature's rail promotion decisions. The findings suggest that states only engaged in rail promotion when local infrastructure …
