What impact did the cotton gin and the rise of cotton have on slavery in the U.S?

I personally think it was the beginning of the end of Slavery. People were learning of ways to make the gathering and separation and processing of cotton easier. Which meant black people were having to work at jobs for a living, @ an average wage of 7 cents per hour, no longer living in Slave quarters supplied to the slaves, and food. having to find their own way in America. Housing, medicine, etc.. Which is not easy, no matter what color or race. I could go on and on but I would probably sound racist when i am actually a realist. I honestly feel black people abolished slavery a little too early. Not many blacks were well established which made for a longer road for blacks to travel. Many were being freed on their own and buying slaves for themselves. which was helping to get a better grip. but everyone was on their own after the war.

The cotton gin increased production of seedless cotton. As such, it created demand on more slaves to work more fields to boost productivity levels. Bad news for the slaves.


Cotton candy maker?

I have a rose arty cotton candy maker(a big one not the hand held one) I am out of cotton candy sugar and I know you can use regular sugar. I want to use it for a party today and I was wondering if you can use koolaid powder and sugar to make it flavored? thanks for the help.

Cotton candy maker?
Koolaid would be a great flavoring for cotton candy, but be sure that you get the proportions right ... test it before you make it for the people at the party. Otherwise your cotton candy may be way too strong or way too weak ... I go for the 'too strong' but I don't even drink Koolaid any more, nor do I eat cotton candy any more ... but I did work selling it at events, and know several of the 'tricks of the trade' when cotton candy is needed and the regular supplies are running low. Use CANE sugar if possible, since that seems to work best. The others tend to separate.
Reply:yes you can use normal sugar thats what the professionals use you cant add flavor they just make you think they add flavor but all they add is food coloring.
Reply:yes u can nut be careful bcuz too much will make your maker get jammed and if you're using koolaid you might one to use a small amount of sugar because there is already sugar in the koolaid mix

How did the rise of the cotton cultivation affect the economy and the people of the Old South?

How did the rise of the cotton cultivation affect the economy and the people of the Old South in atleast three major effects? All question are appreciated. Thanks!

How did the rise of the cotton cultivation affect the economy and the people of the Old South?
The rising importance of cotton cultivation in the South had several interrelated effects:





Increasing European demand for cotton, much like tobacco cultivation in Jamestown, led to a distinct focus on its production as a cash crop. As prices rose, Southern planters attempted to augment their harvests--and their profits--by expanding their estates and investing large amounts of capital in slave labor. Vast increases in slave imports discouraged landowner-wage laborer relationships, which stunted the growth of a middle class. Additionally, the focus on agriculture as a primary means of profit among the upper class hindered the development of significant manufacturing centers in the South, a factor that contributed significantly to the supply difficulties faced by the Confederacy throughout the Civil War.

How did the rise of the cotton cultivation affect the economy and the people of the Old South?
The introduction of cotton cultivation turned the South into a land of economic extremes. Even among whites, it led to huge variations in material conditions and daily experiences. A large amount of wealth in land and slaves was concentrated along a small percentage of the white population and the rest were usually tenant farmers. It led to a huge increase in the number of slaves contained in the South.The institution of slavery discouraged immigrants from moving to the South in large numbers because they realized slave labor would undercut their wages. The slaves also developed thier own culture and aimed to preserve their West Africans customs on the plantations. The slavery issue also contributed to the tension between the rhetoric of freedom and the reality of the growing number of slaves.
Reply:It's sad you don't know this.





cotton meant money.





growing cotton needed people, so they imported slaves. The south economy was built on the backs of slaves.





the south seceded from the Union which started the civil war. As southern cotton depended northern mills, the south was doomed to loose the war.
Reply:1. Dependency on mostly cotton and agriculture for the economy.


2. Dependency on slaves to do the hard work of working the cotton fields.


3. Less industrial power and money during the civil war.
Reply:1. The demand for cheap labor increased.





2. The cotton was in greater demand in Europe than in the U.S.





3. Cotton was still in demand after the American Civil War, sans slaves.
Reply:The famers brought in more slaves

What football teams have won the Rose, Fiesta, Cotton, Orange & Sugar Bowls?

Penn State


Ohio State


Oklahoma





There may be one or two others, but I know for certain that Alabama, Michigan, Nebraska, Miami, Florida State, Florida, and Southern Cal have not won all five.





And sorry to the poster below, but Tennessee has not won all five. They've played in the Rose Bowl twice (1940 and 1945) but lost to Southern Cal both times. In fact, the Vols have never beaten the Trojans.





In addition, their win against Miami was in the Sugar Bowl, not the Orange. The Vols' win in the Orange Bowl came in 1939 over Oklahoma. They've lost their other three appearances in Miami (1947 vs. Rice, 1968 vs. Oklahoma, and 1998 vs. Nebraska).

The sugar, orange, Rose and cotton bowls - what is it exactly and is there a meaning for these specific names?
It's all regional - sugar from Louisiana, orange from Florida, Rose is from Pacadena and Cotton is from Texas. Basically it was named from regional cash crops.
Reply:Yess and no


theyre just Bowls, important games, the top 5 college bowls


and the names have diferent meanings


Sugar: dont really know that one but i think they play it where somebody makes sugar


Orange: Is played in florida where they produce a lot of oranges


Rose: is played in Pasadena and after the rose parade


Cotton: is played in Texas, lot of cotton and slaves before
Reply:The Rose Bowl is the oldest of the bowls, and is held in Pasadena, California. Originally, in the 1890s, Pasadena called itself the City of Roses, and the local merchants created the Tournament of Roses, as the parade is officially known. They then invited leading college football teams to play. Sometime in the 1930s, the rule was adopted that the players had to be one of the Pacific Coast colleges against a Midwestern team. Florida is known for its oranges, so when they created a bowl, that was the name they picked. Similarly with sugar and cotton for local products. The number of bowl games has gotten quite out of hand, and soon we may be seeing a Music Bowl in Branson, Missouri, or a Ford Bowl in Detroit, or an Alien Bowl in Area 51.
Reply:From Wikipedia:





In 1890, Pasadena, California held its first Tournament of Roses Parade to showcase the city's mild weather compared to the harsh winters in northern cities. As one of the organizers said: "In New York, people are buried in snow. Here, our flowers are blooming and our oranges are about to bear. Let's hold a festival to tell the world about our paradise." In 1902, the annual festival was enhanced by adding a football game.





In 1926, leaders in Miami, Florida decided to do the same with a "Fiesta of the American Tropics" that was centered around a New Year's Day football game. Although a second "Fiesta" was never held, Miami leaders later revived the idea with the "Palm Festival" (with the slogan "Have a Green Christmas in Miami"). The football game and associated festivities of the Palm Festival were soon named the "Orange Bowl."





In New Orleans, the idea of a New Year's Day football game was first presented in 1927 by Colonel James M. Thomson, publisher of the New Orleans Item, and Sports Editor Fred Digby. Every year thereafter, Digby repeated called for action, and even came up with the name "Sugar Bowl" for his proposed football game.





By 1935, enough support had been garnered for the first Sugar Bowl. The game was played in Tulane Stadium, which had been built in 1926 on Tulane University's campus (before 1871, Tulane's campus was Paul Foucher's Plantation, where Foucher's father-in-law, Etienne de Bore, had first granulated sugar from cane syrup).





The Cotton Bowl was founded in Dallas, Texas in 1937 at the Texas State Fair Grounds, when Texas oil executive J. Curtis Sanford financed the first one out of his own pocket. Texas Christian University took on Marquette, winning, 16-6, but the game lost money even though some 17,000 attended. Nonetheless, Sanford persevered, and in 1938 the game made a profit as Rice defeated Colorado, 28-14, in front of a gate of 37,000.

who or what determines the name of the college bowls?

Looking for a rose-printed cotton, pink on white.. Any website ideas?

Hi!


I'm looking for rose-printed cotton yardage for a dress; something similar to Rachel Ashwell or Cath Kidson fabrics, but less expensive (under $20/yd).


I am looking for something with a white background, pink roses and green leaves, with the roses at least 2" across or larger.





I am a BIG fan of Tanya Whelan's "Barefoot Roses" fabric and have already used her white background roses.





Thank you so much!

Looking for a rose-printed cotton, pink on white.. Any website ideas?
Have you checked eBay yet? If not, that should be your first stop. Also, JoAnn Fabrics sells online. Check them out, too. If you sign up for the online flyer (or the mailed-to-your-house one) it comes with a 40% off coupon. You can use that on a single cut of fabric, no matter how long it is.





At a regular fabric store, if you're looking for cotton, check out the quilters' section. There's usually some rose prints there. Some of them get up to $5.- or $8.- yd, but I've never seen them higher than that.
