The expansion of the South across the Appalachians and the Mississippi River to the fringes of the high plains was one of the great American folk wanderings. . . . The South needed some commercial crop adapted to the climate, demanded by the overseas market, and suitable for production in circumstances ranging from the frontier farm to the great plantation.. -Albert Cowdrey.
success
How long can men thrive between walls of brick, walking on asphalt pavements, breathing the fumes of coal and of oil, growing, working, dying, with hardly a thought of wind, and sky, and fields of grain, seeing only machine-made beauty, the mineral-like quality of life? - Charles Lindbergh
hope
AMERICAN DREAM
Jacksonian Democracy
The fact is, that civilization requires slaves. Human slavery is wrong, insecure, and demoralizing. On mechanical slavery, on the slavery of the machine, the future of the world depends. -Oscar Wilde
diligence
Because of the success of such inventions as the cotton gin, farmers were buying more and more land. The increased demand led them to move West, where there was more land to fulfill their longing.
more land = more slaves = less hope for blacks
