" THE COTTON KINGDOM"
Most discussions of cotton dwell on the short period when cotton did rule as king. This "mature" period of cotton and slavery was not necessarily typical of or relevant to the earlier periods of plantation agriculture that accompanied the emergence of the cotton mono-culture. Discussions also tend to treat the South as one unit rather than the large and varied region it was. The COTTON KINGDOM extended west through Texas and north about six hundred miles up the Mississippi River valley.

producing states? From these states cotton was produced. Which lends itself to one line of thinking the south had during the Civil War, that the rest of world would need their cotton so they would support their cause, not taking into consideration Egyptian Cotton..
