520 8 In the nineteenth century, Jewish merchants created a
thriving niche economy in the United States' most
important industry-cotton-positioning themselves at the
forefront of expansion during the Reconstruction Era.
Jewish success in the cotton industry was transformative
for both Jewish communities and their development, and for
the broader economic restructuring of the South. Cotton
Capitalists analyzes this niche economy and reveals its
origins. Michael R. Cohen argues that Jewish merchants'
status as a minority fueled their success by fostering
ethnic networks of trust. Trust in the nineteenth century
was the cornerstone of economic transactions, and this
trust was largely fostered by ethnicity. Much as money
flowed along ethnic lines between Anglo-American banks,
Jewish merchants in the Gulf South used their own ethnic
ties with other Jewish-owned firms in New York, as well as
Jewish investors across the globe, to capitalize their
businesses. They relied on these family connections to
direct Northern credit and goods to the war-torn South,
avoiding the constraints of the anti-Jewish prejudices
which had previously denied them access to credit,
allowing them to survive economic downturns. These
American Jewish merchants reveal that ethnicity matters in
the development of global capitalism. Ethnic minorities
are and have frequently been at the forefront of
entrepreneurship, finding innovative ways to expand narrow
sectors of the economy. While this was certainly the case
for Jews, it has also been true for other immigrant groups
more broadly.
