How is that Watie, given that the first practical cotton picker didn't come along until the late 1930s and the chemicals that eliminated the need for labor-intensive chopping didn't come along until the 1940s? (Hey, don't argue with me, argue with the agricultural curator at the Smithsonian. Do you need his e-mail address?)
more NONSENSE & PROPAGANDA from FR's very own "heyworth the HATER"!
absent TWBTS, the mule-drawn & steam-driven mechanical cottonpickers would have KILLED the profit of slavery within 10 years. absent PROFIT slavery was DEAD, as all the slavers wanted was $$$$$$$$.
aren't you TIRED of knowledgeable people on FR laughing at your STUPID, easily refuted NONSENSE, evasions & IGNORANT attacks????
inasmuch as the cottonpickers & steam tractors (which you continue to deny existed) are IN the Smithsonian's exhibits (one was built in 1853, according to the machine's data plate) and on PUBLIC DISPLAY, it sure makes you look like a DUMBbunny, a TROLL and/or a FOOL! (which imVho you decidedly ARE!)
