Produktbeschreibung

The Fabric of Civilization: A Short Survey of the Cotton Industry in the United States offers a comprehensive and engaging exploration of the pivotal role cotton has played in shaping American society, economy, and culture. Tracing the journey of cotton from its early cultivation to its dominance as a cornerstone of American industry, the book delves into the technological innovations, labor systems, and economic forces that propelled the United States to the forefront of global cotton production. Through detailed accounts, the narrative examines the invention of the cotton gin, the expansion of cotton plantations, and the profound impact of cotton on the growth of the textile industry, both domestically and internationally. The book also addresses the complex social and political ramifications of the cotton industry, including its entanglement with slavery, the transformation of Southern agriculture, and the rise of powerful industrial centers in the North. It highlights the lives of those who worked the fields and factories, the entrepreneurs who built fortunes, and the inventors who revolutionized production methods. With a keen eye for historical detail, The Fabric of Civilization situates the American cotton industry within the broader context of global trade, technological progress, and shifting labor dynamics. Richly illustrated with anecdotes, statistics, and historical insights, this survey not only chronicles the evolution of cotton as a commodity but also illuminates its enduring influence on American life. From the rural plantations of the South to the bustling mills of New England, the book paints a vivid portrait of an industry that has woven itself into the very fabric of civilization. Whether you are a student of history, economics, or social change, The Fabric of Civilization provides a thorough and thought-provoking account of one of America's most significant industries.
