A single-page patriotic poem from the Continental Monthly, August 1862, written during the American Civil War. It celebrates the supposed end of 'King Cotton' and the rise of Corn (grain) as the dominant crop of the Union, with verses on the North, the South, the Mississippi valley and England. It is not about textiles or weaving but is relevant to the cultural and political history of cotton.
