Child slaves who "had to pick 150 pounds . . . a day, or get a whoppin'." Young girls working in New England mills, who endured fourteen-hour days among the "buzzing and hissing and whizzing of pulleys and rollers and spindles and flyers." Sharecroppers living on borrowed land, in houses "so rotten you can jest take up the boards in your hands and cromple ’em up." The true story of cotton in America is told here by the people who lived it. Further reading. Bibliography. Notes. Index.
