Description

"By integrating the history of the region with global events, Schoen reveals how white farmers, planters, and merchants created a 'Cotton South, ' preserved its profitability for many years, and ensured its dominance in the international raw cotton markets. The story he tells makes clear the opportunities and costs of cotton production for the Lower South and the United States"--Jacket.
