SS8H10

• Agriculture remained an important industry for Georgia, even though it was transformed significantly after World War II.

• New technology like tractors and processors helped farmers plant and harvest quicker and more efficiently.

• Roosevelt’s New Deal and the wartime demand for crops finally gave farmers the financial motive to diversify their crops.



New Farm Equipment in the 1940s

• Cotton was no longer the main source of Georgia’s agricultural income, as other crops like peanuts and pecans became increasingly important.

• Many farmers reduced the amount of crops they grew and turned to raising livestock and poultry.

• In 1945, Georgia had about 226,000 farms, but by 1969 the state had fewer than 67,000 (although they were larger in size).


• With the shrinking farm sizes and introduction of new farm machines, the need for tenant farmers was reduced.

• Thousands of displaced farm workers left the rural farmlands and moved to Georgia’s cities looking for work.

• This new manpower, coupled with the explosion of industry, caused Georgia’s cities to grow tremendously.

• By the 1950s, more Georgians worked in industry and manufacturing jobs than worked on the farms.


• New factories opening in the area, like Ford Motors, General Motors, and Lockheed, brought more and more people into Atlanta.

• People were also able to find jobs in Atlanta’s services industries (like finance and insurance).

• In 1952, Atlanta grew by over 100,000 new residents when it annexed over 80 miles formerly outside of the city.

• Atlanta also thrived due to progressive majors who saw the city’s potential.



Atlanta1950

• William Hartsfield served 6 terms as mayor until retiring in 1961.

• In the 1920s, he saw the potential for Atlanta as an aviation hub and played a major role in transforming an old speedway into Candler Field, the city’s first airport.

• Eventually, the airport grew to be the busiest in the country and made Atlanta a major hub for US and international travel.

• Hartsfield was nicknamed, “the Father of Atlanta Aviation”, and the city renamed the airport after him in 1971.



WilliamHartsfield


Mayor William Hartsfield Overseeing Airport Construction

• Hartsfield was also progressive when it came to race relations within the city.

• He built a coalition of white businessmen and key African American leaders who worked to deal with racial issues and integration in peaceful ways.

• Hartsfield wanted Atlanta to avoid racial conflicts so that it could do well economically.

• Atlanta’s population grew significantly while he was mayor.


• Ivan Allen, Jr. succeeded William Hartsfield as Atlanta’s major in 1961.

• On Allen’s first day in office, he ordered city offices to desegregate and removed the “colored” and “white” signs from city hall.

• He also gave African American policemen the authority to arrest whites, not just other blacks.

• Allen’s Forward Atlanta program led the city through economic prosperity and development.



Ivan Allen, Jr.

• Allen had great visions for the city and one of his plans was making Atlanta the South’s center for professional sports.

• He brought in three of Atlanta’s professional sports franchises: Braves baseball, Falcons football, and Hawks basketball.

• Allen led the way in securing a new stadium that eventually became Fulton County Stadium.• Before it closed in 1996, four World Series were played there.

• The publicity generated by professional sports contributed greatly to Atlanta’s growth.

• Atlanta’s first professional sports team was the Braves, who moved from Milwaukee in 1966.

• Hank Aaron made history when he hit his 715th homerun and broke Babe Ruth’s previous record.

• Aaron, an African American, achieved this feat despite death threats from racists who did not want him to break the record.



Hank Aaron’s Record-breaking Hit

• In 1966, the Atlanta Falcons professional football team played their first season.

• The Falcons also played in Fulton County Stadium until a new, indoor facility called the Georgia Dome opened in the 1990s.

• In 1968, the Hawks moved from St. Louis to become the city’s first professional basketball team.

• Atlanta’s athletic facilities made it the southern sports capital and fueled its economic rise as the city attracted major events.

• Ellis Arnall upset the powerful Eugene Talmadge to become Georgia’s governor in 1942.

• Arnall was much more progressive than Talmadge; he supported a number of measures to help African Americans (like ending the poll tax).

• He promised a “people’s administration,” where public officials honored the citizens’ desires.



Governor Ellis Arnall

• Arnall was responsible for many important reforms, such as lowering the voting age to 18, revising the state constitution, and paying off state debt.

• He also improved Georgia’s prison system by getting rid of abusive practices like chain gangs and whippings.

• Arnall’s top priority was education, and he quickly restored accreditation to the state university system that Talmadge has previously taken away.


• Arnall served as Georgia’s governor from 1942 to 1947, and is remembered as one of Georgia’s most open-minded, effective governors.

• He built a reputation as an efficient and honest politician, and many throughout the country admired him for the job he did in Georgia.

• Arnall made a huge impact on Georgia’s national image; changing it from a poor, rural state to one of the most progressive states in the South.
