ThE Cotton Belt and the AMERICAN SYSTEM

where was THE COTTON BELT? Land south of the Ohio River Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas

But why is it called the cotton bELT? The economies of these states depended on cotton COTTON IS KING!!! These areas remained rural while the north continued to industrialize Cotton could only be grown here because of the climate 200-290 frost free days a year, fertile soil, and plenty of rain

Every plantation had hundreds of slaves…..Not! 15,000 families owned plantations who relied on slave labor to grow cash crops ¼ of all slaves lived on a planation with 50 or more slaves In the 1800’s half of all cotton produced came from plantation with 6 or less slaves

The American system Henry Clay’s idea of government backed economic growth Known as “Harry of the West” Owned slaves himself, but was very unsettled by it Eventually freed his slaves Worked for gradual emancipation in Kentucky

Why cotton? 1793 the cotton gin was invented by Eli Whitney there was a push to put more land into cotton production Most plantains were located in the fertile land around rivers After the cotton gin, owners bought up poor, dry neighborhoods and turned them into cotton fields
