Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Cotton and the Development of the Cotton States Therefore this great economic force has more than ordinary interest for all students of America and especially for students of the South, whose history is affected so vitally by it. Pupils in our public schools have been taught almost exclusively the political history of our country. They have had told to them over and over again the story of political upheavals and military operations, although these crises are probably the results of certain economic forces working in the life of the people. It should be one of the chief aims of the schools, therefore, to acquaint the student with the leading economic forces of his neighborhood, his state, and his country, in order that he may better understand the politics of the country.
