The Cotton Kingdom and Southern Prosperity
Greensnone Ala October 27 This letter notes the South's cotton boom under free labor, with record yields rising to seven million bales and fertilizer aided expansion. It argues profits favor planters, landlords, and laborers, predicts nearly limitless southern production, and signals progress in southern textile manufacturing and potential self supplied export. The writer cites improvements in labor, new processes like the Clement attachment, and a push toward shipping from New Orleans Mobile Savannah and Charleston to Europe. J.M.P.
