How did the cotton boom reshape southern society for both whites and blacks alike?

The cotton boom reshaped southern society due to it's demand. With the growing demand of cotton grew the demand and value of the slaves. As more money poured into the production of cotton more money became invested into slaves.The northerners didn't like the fact of so much money going into cotton and slaves and so little going towards manufacturing. Often times small white farmers would be found working in the fields with the slaves. After the Civil War destroyed the economy of the world African Americans basically took over the control of their labor. The economy began to diversify, slavery had been eliminated and black and whits came up with a new labor system. "By the 1800's African Americans owned and operated groceries, liveries, produce stalls at the city market, saloons, bathhouses, and artisinal shops". Slavery and cotton was the South's economy, without cotton the whites wouldn't succeed as well as without slaves. Eventually the whites would have to share parts of their land with African Americans. The South was reshaped by the things African Americans were able to do and the things they took a stand for/ negotiating for. The whites as well, giving up some land, some working with slaves due to them losing their land, and due to all of this was expansion of more towns and stores across the nation. An important thing to note about the Cotton Boom is that it was beneficial to the North in important ways, and it was not something which most northerners wanted to see end. The reason that such a voracious demand for cotton existed is that cotton served as the main raw material for the textile industries of the North and England. Rather than being a distraction from industrialization, the Cotton Boom helped to fuel and expand the industrial revolution. Indeed, looking ahead to next week, one of the main priorities of the Union government throughout the war was to regain access to southern cotton and to put black southerners back to work on cotton plantations--even after committing itself to ending slavery, the Union nonetheless worked to ensure that blacks continued to work in the fields to produce the cotton that northern factories needed.
