Here is a radio show called Scene on Radio... It had a show called the Cotton Empire. If you listen our Cotton Empire was bigger than we think. Ninety plus percent of the cotton sold in Liverpool cotton exchange was from America. if you use oil of today American cotton industry would be Sandi Arabia, Russia, Iran, Nigeria, Iraq and so forth all combined. Another interesting fact pickers(slaves) productivity went up over time by 6 to 8 times... It implies violence makes one more productive... if you interested in that period of history...
S4 E3: The Cotton Empire
In the decades after America’s founding and theestablishment of the Constitution, did the nation get better, more just, moredemocratic? Or did it double down on violent conquest and exploitation?
