Florida. . . Florida FLORIDA . The Story Continues CHAPTER 13, The South (1790–1860) PEOPLE 1855: Hardworking ranchers in Florida become known as Florida Crackers. Florida ranchers were a hard working lot who used bull whips to herd their cattle. e crack- ing of the whip may be the origin of the Cracker name. How- ever, the term Florida Cracker evolved to describe many of the proud, hard-working, gritty immigrants who came to Florida and farmed the land in the 1800s. e term is still used to describe Floridians with a love of the land, close family ties, and a deep sense of religion. EVENTS 1800–1850: Plantations expand in Florida to meet the growing demand for cotton. Several inventions in the late 1700s revolutionized the cotton industry. In Britain the spinning jenny and power loom allowed cotton fabrics to be mass produced. Meanwhile, on a Georgia plantation in 1793, Eli Whitney developed the cotton gin, a machine that facilitated the cleaning of cotton. ese machines lled the high demand for cotton, which in turn led to the expansion of cotton planta- tions in the South, including in Florida, and a dependence on Southern slave labor to sustain it. American cotton production went from 156,000 bales in 1800 to more than 4,000,000 bales in 1860, of which Florida was a key contributor.

  • How the Death of 'King Cotton' Led to Increased British Interest in India
    ENGL1101 Student: John Mays Instructor: Nathan Camp “Maharaj Cotton” How the Death of “King Cotton” Led to Increased British Interests in India In the 1830s, the Southeastern states were developing as a new economic power. The new growth was due to one crop — cotton. By 1860, nearly sixty percent of the total United States export was cotton. This cash crop pushed the young nation onto the world economic stage. In 1861, the nascent Confederacy was totally dependent on this “King” of the economy, and it played a major role in the Confederacy's downfall. As the American War Between the States dragged on and the Union blockade on Confederate ports remained in place, cotton exports decreased from a mighty river to a trickle. British textile mills, dependent on this supply, ground to a halt, and an alternative source of cotton had to be found. The eyes of a desperate Britain fell on India, and as “King Cotton” destroyed one country, it gave birth to another. Though the sphere of influence of cotton during the War Between the States is normally restricted to the United States, the deficit of southern cotton caused an increased British interest in the governing and development of India as a cotton producer. Prior to the invention of the cotton gin in 1794, large-scale production of long-staple cotton in the South was largely impractical. Long-staple cottons are known and named for their long fibers and high quality, and these varieties were desired by textile mills in Britain because they could be made into high-quality cloth.

  • Causes and Technologies of the Industrial Revolution
    FCPS World II SOL Standards: WHII 9a Causes and Technologies of the Industrial Revolution You Mean Most People Used to Live on Farms? Farms to Factories Starting in the middle of the 18th century, technology and lifestyles in many parts of the world changed dramatically. Factories were built, technology developed, populations increased and many people moved from farms to cities to work in a new economy. We call these changes the Industrial Revolution. This began in England but spread to the rest of Western Europe and the United States. Causes of the Industrial Revolution The Industrial Revolution began in England for several reasons. First, there was a large supply of natural resources. Coal and other fossil fuels were used to Spread of Industrialization in Europe create power for factories. Iron ore was used to build Source: http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/File:OTL_Europe_Industrial_Revolution_Map.png factory equipment and manufactured goods. Another key reason was the British enclosure movement. In England rich landowners bought the farms of poor peasants and separated them with fences. This increased food production but decreased the need for labor on the farms. More people could move to cities and work in factories. During the Industrial Revolution, new technologies and inventions transformed society in many ways. -The spinning jenny was invented by James Hargreaves. It helped turn cotton and wool into thread, speeding the production of textiles. -The steam engine was invented by James Watt. It used burning coal to turn water into steam and generate electricity. This electricity was used to power factories. -Englishman Edward Jenner invented a smallpox vaccine, saving people from this terrible disease.

  • Forgotten Spot Holds History of South, Start of Slavery and Cotton Gin by Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Adapted by Newsela Staff on 02.29.16 Word Count 919
    Forgotten spot holds history of South, start of slavery and cotton gin By Atlanta Journal-Constitution, adapted by Newsela staff on 02.29.16 Word Count 919 A model of a 19th-century cotton gin is on display at the Eli Whitney Museum in Hamden, Connecticut. Photo: Wikipedia SAVANNAH, Ga. — No museum graces the most important site in Southern history. No visitors center welcomes tourists to Mulberry Grove, an overgrown and forgotten plantation along the Savannah River. There is a historic marker a mile away, but few passers-by stop to investigate. Nonetheless, extraordinary events took place at Mulberry Grove. It was here that slavery was first introduced to Georgia, and that Eli Whitney built a cotton gin that radically changed the course of U.S. history. By greatly speeding up the harvesting of cotton, Whitney's machine made cotton cultivation far more extensive and profitable, which in turn led to an increased demand for slave labor. The cotton gin "breathed life into this institution of slavery" said Todd Groce, the president of the Georgia Historical Society. It "triggered the massive migration of slaves, and set the North and the South on a course to the Civil War.” Some Want Plantation Memorial Groce and others want to see the old plantation recognized and memorialized. They say it should perhaps be turned into a living history center where the world could learn of the supremely important events that happened there. Memorializing the South’s tortured past is never easy, though. The cotton gin, after all, singlehandedly led to the importation of hundreds of thousands of slaves and spread America’s “darkest stain” across the region.

  • Cotton Gin Saw Developments
    Cotton Gin Saw Developments Gino J. Mangialardi, Jr. Published by and The National Cotton W. Stanley Anthony Ginners Association Memphis, TN Mangialardi and Anthony I COTTON SAW GIN STAND DEVELOPMENTS Gino.J. Mangialardi, .Jr. And W. Stanley Anthony' ABSTRACT This paper reviews and compiles most ofthe significant developments and research conducted on saw gin stands for cotton gins since about 1958. It describes the design and operation of various types and models ofsaw gin stands, and gives an appraisal ofgin stand designs and settings that may be most useful at current cotton gins. The compiled information and recommendations should prove useful to ginners, scientists planningfuture ginning studies, and engineer's selecting gin stand designs and types for commercial gins. INTRODUCTION Two primary types of cotton are typically grown in the United States-- Gossypium Barbadense (extra-long staple) and Gossypium Hirsutum (Upland, long or short staple). These cottons are comprised of fibers attached to seeds. Before cotton fibers can be used to manufacture textile goods, they must be separated from the seed (ginned). The first metbod of ginning cotton was undoubtedly by tbe buman fingers. This perbaps migbt be termed "pincb ginning." A second metbod to follow was probably the arcbaic foot-roller on a stone. Several types of tbe primitive small, band-operated cburka gins were used, probably first in India (Bennett, circa 1959; Mayfield and Anthony, 1994). The cburka method of ginning was a roller-type gin with small diameter picking rollers that pulled fiber from the seed witbout crushing tbe seed (Figure I). A hand cburka gin would probably produce about five pounds of fiber in a long day, compared to about one pound for band ginning.

  • The Globalization of Cotton As a Result of the American Civil War
    SEEDS OF DESTRUCTION: THE GLOBALIZATION OF COTTON AS A RESULT OF THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR by RICKY-DALE CALHOUN B.I.S., Murray State University, 2002 M.A., Murray State University, 2005 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2012 Abstract Cotton was the most important commodity in the economy of the industrialized Western world in the mid-nineteenth century, as vital then as petroleum is today. It was widely believed that a prolonged interruption of the cotton supply would lead not merely to a severe economic depression, but possibly to the collapse of Western Civilization. Three quarters of the world’s cotton supply came from the Southern states of the United States. When the American Civil War erupted and cotton supplies were cut off, the British Cotton Supply Association was faced with the difficult task of establishing cotton cultivation in other locations. In order for the effort to succeed, the British had to obtain and distribute millions of pounds of American cotton seeds. The United States government, the Illinois Central Railroad, and a number of organizations and individuals cooperated to obtain the necessary seeds that the British had to have. American farm equipment manufacturers assisted by designing, making, and distributing portable cotton gins and other implements needed by cotton growers overseas. U.S. consuls overseas sometimes assisted the Cotton Supply Association with seed and equipment distribution. This dissertation is about the implementation of the grand economic strategies of the United States and Great Britain.

Gins must produce a quality of lint that brings the grower maximum value while meeting the demands of the spinner and consumer. Operating gin machinery in accordance with the recommended speeds, adjustments, maintenance, and throughput rates will produce the highest possible fiber quality. A standardized sequence that includes dryers to obtain the proper moisture level as well as machines to remove the foreign matter is recommended for processing cotton at the gin.
