Woodward taught at Johns Hopkins University from 1946 to 1961 and at Yale from 1961 to 1977. He received the Bancroft Prize for ''Origins of the New South, 1877-1913'' (1951), and the Pulitzer Prize in 1982 for ''Mary Chesnut's Civil War'', a minor book but the Pulitzer committee had overlooked his major books. His great achievement was ''Origins of the New South'', which remains the most persuasive interpretation of the entire region.

Woodward was one of the most imaginative writers and deepest interepreters of the South, but was not a spellbinding teacher and did not try to create a cadre of followers or a school of historiography.  He let his many graduate students follow their own muse.
