The Environmental Origins of Shifting Cultivation: Climate, Soils, and Disease in the Nineteenth-Century US South
Farmers and planters in the antebellum South held large tracts of unimproved land because they practiced shifting cultivation. Southern cultivators burned tracts of forest growth to quickly release nutrients into the soil. After five or six years, when the soil had been depleted, the old field was abandoned for as long as twenty years. Environmental factors such as poor soils, rugged topography, and livestock diseases accounted for the persistenc…
Manufacturing Where Agriculture Predominates: Evidence from the South and Midwest in 1860
Productivity, Extent of Markets, and Manufacturing in the Late Antebellum South and Midwest
This article uses the Bateman-Weiss samples of manufacturing firms from 1850 and 1860 to estimate the labor and total factor productivity of southern and midwestern manufacturing industries in the late antebellum period. The results indicate rapid growth in productivity, especially in the South. The article also demonstrates a positive association between measured productivity, firm size, and urbanization. Differences in manufacturing performance…
