To answer the question from page 2 after my comment about my family having a cotton farm since the 1800s.
Yes, there was slaves there before the civil war.
I don't really care if anybody would be butthurt about that either because now a days, it's all done with huge combines and tractors.
The money that comes from the beans and cotton off that land could give me a six figure salary by just picking up a check once a year.
So haters can hate all they want to

well as awesome as the cabs of those tractors are now, picking cotton isn't all that bad.
They get the laptop with a movie going and the AC flowing.
It's such horribly tough work

Frogmore Plantation near Jonesville makes bank busing tourists up from New Orleans to see a real live cotton farming operation. Europeans especially love that shite.

I pass it weekly and you are correct. I'm 10 miles East on the other side of the Black River.

I just plugged in Josey Wales.
If for some reason anyone would frown upon a cotton farm than that would be an ignorant person. Many farms, probably most agricultural land now is corporate owned. The small old family farmer is going by the wayside as it is a hard way to make a living. Think about living on one paycheck a year with that paycheck determined by weather, politics, global markets, disease and many other factors. Very few young people are going into farming because the capital outlay isn't near worth the risk. This includes many young people who grew up on the family farm.
It is a tough business and one that most people could not do and have no clue what it takes yet sit back and criticize while wearing cotton clothes, eating corn, wheat, soybeans, beef, pork, poultry, sugar, dairy all at incredibly affordable prices.

Well what that black guy, as well as most people, doesn't realize is that in Alabama most cotton was picked by poor white people coming out of the hills of Apalachia. This was a big factor of racism, simply the poor whites were afraid the poor blacks were going to take their jobs.

The modern day cotton farm is more than likely a bean and corn farm.

Lots of Cotton grown in Southern AL,because it's flat as a pancake there.
They built a state of the art Cotton Gin outside Tallassee,AL about 10 years ago.
Lots of money in it.
People love to wear cotton.
