WHILE COTTON WAS KING: HOW WAS IT FOR FREE BLACKS?
Think about all the things that we have learned about the system Professor Gates explains. How the complex economic system ensured even family members could not be set free, because the Southern States made laws to ensure slavery. Even when it looks that Evangelical Southern families will give up the system of bondage of other humans, the making money of "clean cotton" changed all that philosophy of freedom. No longer would the southern agrarian or farmer culture give up such profits from slaves. The perspectives and values of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, will have to wait for all people enslaved for many years, some say still to come. America was still going to discriminate even when we spoke of freedom, liberty, and justice for all.
