i am really in need of an article or say some information on Britain and the history of cotton?

i need info. on cotton, cotton industries and its production in early
Britain, that is, few years before and after the beginning of the
Industrial Revolution
I'd be really thankful if someone could help me


Britain was the manufacturer of the world for the early part of the 19th Century. Cotton (and wool, linen & other raw materials) would come into her ports & be taken by canal & later by rail to the mills in the north. Places like Saltaire & Cromford. From there the raw cotton was spun & then woven into cloth & then transported back to the ports & everywhere in the world - often to the countries where the raw cotton had come from, like India.

Why is the Cotton Whigs important to American history?



The term Whig was taken from English politics, the name of a faction that opposed royal tyranny... in the US the Whig party consisted of states’ rights advocates, and supporters of the American System. In some respects the Whigs were the descendants of the old Federalist Party, supporting the Hamiltonian preference for strong federal action in dealing with national problems.

The issue of slavery split the party. “Conscience Whigs” in the North favored the abolition of slavery and halting the institution's spread into new territories. The “Cotton Whigs” in the South took the opposite viewpoints. Following Whig Winfield Scott’s poor showing in the 1852 Presidential election, the southerners moved to the Democratic Party and the northerners to the newly formed Republican Party.

Basically, the Cotton Whigs joined with the Southern Democrats and started the secession and Civil War.

  • Book outlines intertwined history of cotton, race

    JACKSON, Miss. -- Gene Dattel grew up in the segregated South and was one of the few Mississippians enrolled at Yale University in 1962 when his home state became ensnared in a bloody confrontation over integration.

    More than 1,200 miles and a cultural universe away from the land of cotton, the white freshman found himself answering questions about the violent resistance to James Meredith's court-ordered admission as the first black student at the University of Mississippi.

    "I was really put on the defensive," Dattel, now 65 and living in New York City, recalled recently.

    He said his struggle to answer questions, and to understand what led to events of the day, prompted him to begin an intense course of study. He earned a bachelor's degree in history from Yale in 1966 and a law degree from Vanderbilt University in 1969.
