Examines the role of the family labour system in the early evolution of the post-bellum Southern cotton textile industry.
This book examines the role of the family labour system in the early evolution of the post-bellum Southern cotton textile industry. The growing textile industry required workers with varied skills and a stable and reliable work force. At the same time, Southern agriculture was in a depressed state and families, especially those with many children, were forced into looking for work in the textile mills. The mills, in their own interest, created a paternalistic work environment, including good schools for the children, to attract this desirable source of workers. This paternalism was central to solving the industry''s labour needs, but it was a paternalism shaped by market forces and not merely as an instrument of capitalist indoctrination.
