A Barren and Fruitful Land
A Barren and Fruitful Land
This chapter focuses on postwar bright tobacco production. Yellow tobacco offered the promise of prosperity for both farmers and capital-intensive agribusinessmen. While certain cultivation techniques survived the war intact and would persist into the twentieth century, environmental challenges and new thinking altered other production methods. A new auction system, increasing demand, and the sometimes violent control of labor combined to continue bright tobacco's expansion during and after Reconstruction.
