Excerpt from The American Cotton System Historically Treated, Showing Operations of the Cotton Exchanges, Also Cotton Classification: With Numerous Practical Domestic and Foreign Commercial Calculations It is evident that beyond the limits of his own environments the average cotton grower is unacquainted with the manner in which his cotton finds a market; that text books enlightening him are wanting; that experience alone can not teach him the exact character and quality of the cotton produced on his farm, the process of marketing, the practical definition and application of future contracts to spot markets, how to ascertain the value of relative grades, and to make the calculations requisite to the transaction, whether sold at home or in foreign markets, and to render clear the meaning of all the technical expressions common to the cotton trade are some of the manifold purposes of this volume. Realizing that a work of this kind, setting forth as clearly as possible the way in which cotton is bought and sold, how the banking interests of the country are instrumental in handling and assisting in the movement of cotton as a co-related force, is not only desirable but absolutely necessary and will enable any student of cotton to be educated along the lines demanded by the peculiar cotton conditions in the South today.

For most historians, the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries saw the hostilities of the Civil War and the dashed hopes of Reconstruction give way to the nationalizing forces of cultural reunion, a process that is said to have downplayed sectional grievances and celebrated racial and industrial harmony. In truth, says Natalie J. Ring, this buoyant mythology competed with an equally powerful and far-reaching set of representations of the backward Problem South—one that shaped and reflected attempts by northern philanthropists, southern liberals, and federal experts to rehabilitate and reform the country's benighted region. Ring rewrites the history of sectional reconciliation and demonstrates how this group used the persuasive language of social science and regionalism to reconcile the paradox of poverty and progress by suggesting that the region was moving through an evolutionary period of “readjustment” toward a more perfect state of civilization. In addition, The Problem South contends that the transformation of the region into a mission field and laboratory for social change took place in a transnational moment of reform. Ambitious efforts to improve the economic welfare of the southern farmer, eradicate such diseases as malaria and hookworm, educate the southern populace, “uplift” poor whites, and solve the brewing “race problem” mirrored the colonial problems vexing the architects of empire around the globe. It was no coincidence, Ring argues, that the regulatory state's efforts to solve the “southern problem” and reformers' increasing reliance on social scientific methodology occurred during the height of U.S. imperial expansion.
