Cotton and Conquest: How the Plantation System Acquired Texas
Roger G. Kennedy
This sweeping work of history explains the westward spread of cotton agriculture and slave labour across the South and into Texas during the decades before the Civil War. In arguing that the US acquisition of Texas originated with planters' need for new lands to devote to cotton cultivation, Roger Kennedy takes a long view.
