And the connection between cotton and the African-American experience became central to the history of the republic. America's most serious social tragedy, slavery and its legacy, spread only where cotton could be grown. Both before and after the Civil War, and well into the twentieth century, blacks were relegated to work the cotton fields. Their social and economic situation was aggravated by a pervasive racial animosity and fear of a black migratory invasion that caused white Northerners to contain blacks in the South. Gene Dattel's pioneering study explores the historical roots of these central social issues. In telling detail, Mr. Dattel shows why the vastly underappreciated story of cotton is a key to understanding America's rise to economic power. When cotton production exploded to satiate the nineteenth-century textile industry's enormous appetite, it became the first truly complex global business and a driving force in U.S. territorial expansion and sectional economic integration. It propelled New York City to commercial preeminence and fostered independent trade between Europe and the United States, providing export capital for the new nation to gain its financial "sea legs." And without slave-produced cotton, the South could never have initiated the Civil War, America's bloodiest conflict. Cotton continued to exert a powerful influence on both the American economy and race relations in the years after the Civil War. Mr. Dattel's skillful historical analysis identifies the commercial forces that cotton unleashed and the pervasive nature of racial antipathy it produced. This is a story that has never been told in quite the same way before, related here with the authority of a historian with a profound knowledge of international finance."--Publisher's description. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 1783-1865|2fast 648 7 1865-1933|2fast 648 7 1783-1933|2fast 650 0 Slavery|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85123314|xEconomic aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005484|zSouthern States|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85125633-781|xHistory. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Cotton growing|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85033329|xEconomic aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005484|zSouthern States|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85125633-781|xHistory. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Cotton growing|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85033329|xSocial aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh00002758|zSouthern States|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85125633-781|xHistory.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Plantation life|zSouthern States|xHistory.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010106540 650 0 African Americans|zSouthern States|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2007100333|xSocial conditions. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2001008850 650 0 Slavery|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85123314|xPolitical aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00005651|zUnited States.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78095330-781 650 7 Slavery|xEconomic aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1120438 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Slavery.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1120426 650 7 Cotton growing|xEconomic aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/880990 650 7 Cotton growing.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/880982 650 7 Cotton growing|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/881002 650 7 Plantation life.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1065779 650 7 African Americans.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 799558 650 7 Social conditions.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1919811 650 7 Race relations.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1086509 650 7 Economic conditions.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1919582 650 7 Slavery|xPolitical aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/1120480 650 7 Politics and government.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1919741 651 0 United States|xRace relations.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85140494 651 0 United States|xEconomic conditions.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85140020 651 0 United States|xPolitics and government|y1783-1865.|0https: //id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85140416 651 0 United States|xPolitics and government|y1865-1933.|0https: //id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85140446 651 7 Southern States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1244550 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aDattel, Eugene R.|tCotton and race in the making of America.|dChicago : Ivan R.
