Excerpt from Cotton Cultivation in Africa: Suggestions on the Importance of the Cultivation of Cotton The suggestions on the importance of the cultivation of cotton in Africa, as a measure calculated to effect the abolition of slavery in America, were presented originally to those more immediately interested in the success of the proposed measure. The practicability of the scheme was then supposed to have been clearly demonstrated. But that which a few years since might have been considered rather speculative, and, perhaps, by some even visionary, with the information then obtained, is now placed beyond all doubt; and the fact is established to the entire satisfaction of those who have labored so zealously for the accomplishment of the object -that cotton of superior quality, fully equal to the best grown 111 America, can be raised in Africa by free labor, in an unlimited quantity, and much cheaper than it can be produced by the expensive slave labor of the United States. In confirmation of this, we have the testimony of, the celebrated African travellers, Barth, Livingstone, and Bowen, whose explorations have revealed the fact that nearly the whole continent of Africa is admirably adapted to the cultivation of cotton. That in many places it grows spontaneously, and that several kinds bloom all through the year, requiring only the labor of picking.
