What is the significance of cotton production to the 19 century US economy?
It was especially important for the southern US states and basically the reason for the Civil War. The southern States' economy almost totally depended on their cotton production and export. The southern USA was the #1 provider of cotton to the world, and that level of production and the need to keep prices competitive made slave labor necessary. During the Civil War cotton exports dwindled to almost nothing, and after the war the Southern States found that India and Egypt had taken over the cotton market. The loss of the cotton income made the southern States the poorest of the US, a situation that would endure until the economic boom that was WW 2.
