Editor's Notes
President Monroe Thinking Globally Surrounded by his cabinet, the president is depicted explaining
the Monroe Doctrine. Secretary of State John Quincy Adams is the first on the left; Secretary of War
John C. Calhoun is the third from the right.
The Growth in Cotton Production and Consumption Whitney’s gin (left) made possible the mass
cultivation of upland, or short-stable, cotton, which was unprofitable to raise when its seeds had to
be laboriously removed by hand. As cotton production pushed farther south and west, taking slavery
with it, it provisioned a growing northern textile industry. Calico, or patterned cotton cloth, was hand produced
by wood-block printing with colored dyes, as shown here at right. The availability of plentiful,
cheap cloth vastly expanded women’s wardrobes.
