The Merchants' Capital: New Orleans and the Political Economy of the Nineteenth-Century South - Cambridge Studies on the American South
Marler, Scott P. (University of Memphis)
New Orleans, the nineteenth-century South's only true metropolis, originally derived its prosperity as the chief export point for slave-produced commodities, most notably cotton. This book focuses on the city's merchants and how their conservative investment mentalities contributed to New Orleans' unusually rapid economic downfall during and after the Civil War.
