Cotton is everywhere in our modern world, and it became a hugely important crop in the 19th century United States.

While cotton was mainly grown in the southern states, much of that cotton was processed in northern textile mills. Today we'll learn about the growth of the cotton industry, who benefitted from it, and who was left out.
