Summary
Appalachia had been perceived as backward since the Civil War. After WWII the government played a larger part in economic development to bring "progress" to the area. The result was exploitation of the region's natural resources, while failing to provide… a better life for residents. The mistakes made then provide insight into the challenges that confront contemporary Appalachia today. 2008
