Comer Vann Woodward (November 13, – December 17, ) was an American historian who focused primarily on the American South and race relations. He was long a supporter of the approach of Charles A. Beard, stressing the influence of unseen economic motivations in politics.
Woodward was on the left end of the history profession in the s. By the s he was a leading liberal and supporter of civil rights. His book The Strange Career of Jim Crow demonstrated that racial segregation was an invention of the late 19th century rather than an inevitable post-Civil-War development. After attacks on him by the New Left in the late s, he moved to the right politically.[1] He won a Pulitzer Prize for History for his annotated edition of Mary Chestnut's Civil War diaries.
