Rise of the Redneck
It wasn't the race per se that the south had to deal with-more so of the rise of the redneck, the tarnished south, those with no honor or same-contrary to the lifestyle of the prior aristocracy, and it all started after the Civil War, and would worsen for the next hundred years.
Josephus Hightower I, born 1847, died 1913 in New Orleans, mother: Pamela Swiler, his son and grandson, Josephus Hightower II (1877-1967), and granddaughter Ruth, born 1890, died 1957 (at 67-years old) and Jason Hightower (1920...) took on this lowly beginning, its mannerisms, hence, both son and grandson were looked upon as typical 'Near poor white trash,' the how much tree does a tree capture to offspring of Charles T. Hightower's affair. To such raw manners, they blended in with the realism of his times and environment: Josephus II, with the money his father had left him, hung out in New Orleans with scalawags, gamblers, into the careless cobwebs, of the city-the rootless people; folks started calling, Father Josephus, and it wasn't because he acted like a priest, but the opposite.
