Rather, most such contracts are concluded under one of several pri- vately drafted sets of contract default rules and are subject to arbitra- tion in one of several merchant tribunals.

  • Capturing Cotton's Metropolis: the Struggle For
    “Capturing Cotton’s Metropolis: The Struggle for Political Control of Memphis Government, 1865-1900” By Jeannie Whayne THIS IS A WORKING DRAFT PLEASE DO NOT QUOTE FROM WITHOUT EXPRESS PERMISSION OF THE AUTHOR As the cotton plantation South spread west into Mississippi, Tennessee, and Arkansas in the late antebellum period, the town of Memphis became a major trading center and the largest inland cotton market in America.1 Responding to the need for labor along the waterfront, Irish immigrants from the potato famine flocked to Memphis and into a section of the first Ward called “Pinch” in north Memphis where the navy yard and the port facilities existed. By 1860, the Irish constituted 52.7% percent of that ward, but that would be their high point. By 1900 their numbers had dropped drastically, and they had been replaced by African Americans laborers. During the Civil War, thousands of African Americans sought safety and opportunity within the confines of the city, which had surrendered to Union forces in 1862, and while the majority of them settled in south Memphis near Fort Pickering, a sizeable proportion took up residence in Pinch. In the immediate post-Civil War period, 1 both the Irish and the African Americans were essential to the movement of cotton onto the world market and, indeed, the cotton economy was an ever present force in the life of the city. Between 1850 and 1900, the population in the cotton producing counties in the Memphis region expanded dramatically and cotton production figures increased from just under 100 million pounds of cotton to nearly 366 million pounds in that period (see Tables I, II, III, and IV).
