Chapter 14, Sections 1,2. The Growth of Cotton and the Southern Economy.

Agriculture The South took great pride in agriculture, as an art passed down to successive generations. But the truth was that farming in the South was in decline.

Decrease in Slavery Northern states found it incompatible with liberty. Drop in prices made farmers scale back, or grow crops that demanded less labor. Cheaper to free slaves than feed them.

But then… the growing textile industry required a larger cotton crop, and therefore more slaves were needed to harvest it.

Eli Whitney created the Cotton Gin That made it easier to remove the seeds from short-staple cotton.

The Cotton belt… …stretched from South Carolina to Texas.

Southern Citizens Planters- large scale farmers with more than 20 slaves Factors- Crop brokers who managed trade between planters and customers

Etienne Bore Perfected a more efficient way to process Louisiana sugarcane.

Cotton was wearing out the soil and making the South dependent on foreign imports. Some Southerners called for more industries.
