Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birds and All Nature, Vol. 7: January, 1900 In our civil war we came very near being thrown into con ict with England by an entanglement of the same fiber which caught the black man. One of the greatest industries of England in 1861-5 was cotton manu facture, and when we, by our blockade system, closed the southern ports so cotton could not be carried out, we nearly shut down all the works in that country where cotton was made up. That meant hard times to many towns and suffering to many families. That is why so many Englishmen said we ought to be satisfied to cut our country in two and let the people of the Con federacy have their way. Cotton is a world-wide product. It grows in all warm countries every where, sometimes as a tree and some times as a shrub. It is usually spoken of as a plant. There was cotton grown in Chicago last year. Not in a hot house, but in a back yard with very little attention. A little girl got some seed, planted it, and had some fine bolls in the fall. It is a pretty plant, and was cultivated in China nearly a thousand years ago as a garden plant. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
