Corn and Cotton: With a Postscript on Distress is a book written by Charles Ross in 1840. The book is a detailed account of the agricultural practices and economic conditions of the United States during the early 19th century. Ross provides a thorough analysis of the production and trade of two of the most important crops in the US at the time: corn and cotton. The first part of the book focuses on corn, describing its cultivation, harvesting, and processing, as well as its uses in the economy. Ross also discusses the various challenges faced by farmers in growing and selling corn, including competition from other crops and the effects of weather patterns.The second part of the book is dedicated to cotton, which was a major export crop for the US during this period. Ross provides a detailed history of cotton production in the US, including the development of the cotton gin and the impact of slavery on the industry. He also discusses the various challenges faced by cotton farmers, including competition from other countries and the effects of pests and diseases.In the postscript, Ross addresses the economic distress that was affecting the US during the 1840s, including the effects of the Panic of 1837 and the subsequent depression. He provides an analysis of the causes of the economic downturn and proposes various solutions to address the crisis.Overall, Corn and Cotton: With a Postscript on Distress provides a valuable historical perspective on the agricultural practices and economic conditions of the US during the early 19th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of agriculture and economics in the US.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
