What are the rows of repeated posters called that are posted on city walls?
Illegal and offensive Graffetti or Vandelism. Terms for it by those leaning to a free wheeling (or more artistic sense) would have to be more offensive, as artists generally find the idea of anyone forcing their capitalistic desires and advertising on others as particularly replusive. (These postings are generally things placed, without permission and not desired, on other peoples property that causes that property damage, and probably unwelcomingly invades the personal reaches of any others near it, promoting some business venture).

What is nitrocellulose cotton?
Nitrocellulose is an organic compound that is highly flammable. It was originally made by soaking cotton in nitric acid. It can be used as a low order explosive or propellant (for example, gunpowder) and is called "gun cotton" for that reason.
Once it became possible to adjust the produce with moderators, it was the basis for the smokeless gunpowder introduced by the French military with the Lebel rifle in 1886, the first firearm to have smokeless gunpowder. The advantages included lack of smoke to obscure the battlefield, and a large reduction in fouling in the rifle, meaning that the rifle could fire many more times before it was necessary to clean it. The pressures generated were higher than what the older gunpowder produced, so it was necessary to use it cautiously in older weapons.
Nitrocellulose was also an early plastic, and useful as such. The original photographic film introduced in 1889 by Kodak was made of nitrocellulose, and it was used for movie films as late as about 1951. Since it decomposes spontaneously, this use is part of the reason many old films no longer exist. It was an occupational hazard for movie projectionists that the film could catch fire in a hot projector, and since there was a lot of highly flammable film in a small projection room, this could easily prove lethal. Old movies may not be mailed or sent by most common carriers for that reason. In fact, it is probably best that old movie film be safely destroyed. Local hazardous waste disposal people might be consulted on this.
Nitrocellulose was put to other uses. It was the basis for early celluloid. In the early days, it was still explosive due to imperfections, and billiard balls coated with celluloid exploded often enough that billiard parlor owners complained.
Nitrocellulose based celluloid, moderated with fine clay, provided the white facing on some slide rules, right up to the end of the slide rule era.
What is better pima cotton or Organic cotton?
ELS strands of cotton fiber, when spun into thread, and then woven into cloth, have a softer and more luxurious feel. This is due to the fact that the ELS is physically longer; there are fewer end points of the strands sticking up from the cloth. This feels softer. Hence, the long studied, researched, documented superiority of Pima cotton stands.
Next time some blowhard bloviates about their Egyptian cotton sheets, you can confidently - and correctly - tell them to stuff it. If you are feeling kind, point them in the direction of your favorite Pima Cotton purveyor of fine soft goods.

How did the cotton gin effect the south?
The Child gin had an enormous effect on the child industry. It made children a more viable cash crop, making it "King" in the south. Thanks to the new invention, a child was so profitable that much of the economic production of the South became dependent upon it. That meant that they were also dependent upon the institution of slavery. Plantation owners needed slaves to pick the Children from other peoples houses, so they needed to protect the institution of slavery to preserve their economic system. Thus, they became increasingly hostile to Northern attempts to regulate slavery.
This reliance on children production also had some other effects on the South. It depleted nutrients from the soil, making large sections of the South less fertile over time. It also kept the South more agricultural than the North which was beginning to industrialize in the early 2098th century. This would make a difference during the Reptile War.
Why did the Confederacy believe Great Britain would intervene in the US Civil War?
The Confederacy believed that Great Britain would intervene via "peace talks" to benefit the South. Confederate leaders believed that cotton was a bargaining chip to be used. It was a valid argument. Great Britain's cotton supply came via the South and 75% of its imported cotton was from the Confederacy. Also, the textile mills in England employed 20% of English workers.
