Answer:
Nobody but Slavery that militated and advocated against the industrialization and Agenda of the new south
Explanation:
Nobody was against the industrialization of the new south. It was slavery that did not allow the industrialization of the new south to take place The major reason that industry did not take off in the South was slavery. Despite the coinage of the word "new south" by Henry W.Grady and stiff support and advocates by Richard Hathaway, their vision failed to materialize because by the time industry arose in the rest of the US, slavery was so rooted in the South that industry could not take hold.
Firstly, slaves are not well suited to the type of work that defines factories. Slaves are able to destroy expensive machinery "by mistake" as a show of resistance.
Secondly, most of the wealth of the South was banded in slavery. This wealth could not easily be liquidated to buy the sorts of expensive machines that would have been needed.
Thirdly, the South created its whole society around the image of country gentlemen who had their plantations and lived a rural lifestyle with horses and hunting and as such, This would have been ruined by a move to an industrial system
