Notes

Raw cotton has been an important item of the general cargo handled at United States seaports since the first recorded export of 1,000 tons in 1790. Traditional patterns of dominant cotton production in the South, and dominant shipment of cotton from Southern ports maintained for almost a century and a half thereafter. During the fiftyyear period here under consideration, however, the only relatively stable factors were the total volume of our maritime trade in cotton and the total volume of our cotton production. Revolutionary changes in cotton markets, foreign trade, domestic trade, producing regions, handling and shipping procedures, as well as major ports and coastal segments all had started by 1930, and had reached full culmination by 1980. The purpose of this paper is to particularize and account for these events.
