Gregg and Graniteville mill shaped a Southern town
Historian Jim Farmer reviews William Gregg's vision to process cotton in the South through Graniteville Company. He notes the mill village, a female-dominated workforce averaging age around 20, and child labor under Gregg's school rules. The Civil War later sped industrialization, with Gregg dying in 1867 before its fruition.
