73/83 J.A.B.Scherer, in _Cotton as a World Power_ (1916), attempts to show the influence of cotton upon history. Holland Thompson in _From the Cotton Field to the Cotton Mill_ (1906) deals with the economic and social changes arising from the development of manufacturing in an agricultural society. With this may be mentioned A. M.T. Copeland's _The Cotton Manufacturing Industry of the United States_ (1912) has some interesting chapters on the South. |
