A short 1865 article from The Nation on the postwar prospects of American cotton growing. It estimates the 1865-66 supply, expected prices, and U.S. and English consumption, and argues that high prices will secure good order in the Southern states. It also discusses how free-labor planters should organize and pay black laborers, favoring piece or job work over the old task system or crop-sharing, and cites experience on the Sea Islands.
