The first American cotton mill was built in 1787 in Beverly Massachusetts. George Washington paid a visit to the mill. The mill failed after 3 years of operation. Generally speaking, the failure was due to inadequate machinery and also because Americans preferred imported English cotton products.
The workers were miserable. The mill was being mechanized, and men who had been skilled workers - and paid decent wages - were being forced to take unskilled jobs at the mill at lower wages.

William Gregg believed that if he cared for his workers, they would develop intelligence and responsibility as workers and he built his mill and mill houses as a self-contained community. Gregg relied on local people to build the mill as well as operate it, employing farmers, tenant farmers, and the poor at wages commensurate with those paid to Northern mill workers. This is a quote made by him "I firmly believe that our advantages are such as to enable us to compete successfully with any country, now engaged in the manufacture of Coarse Cotton Fabrics. We have the materials among us which would create an energy that would revolutionize our State, morally and physically."
