Some history buffs believe one reason the Old South lost its bid for independence from the United States in the American Civil War was its failure to mechanize. This is incorrect. The Southern states used technology just as the industrial North did; however, the South used it to complement its pre-industrial agricultural society rather than create factories and cities. During the 1780s, the Rice industry underwent a revolution. In 1783, Gideon DuPont perfected the tidal-flooding method of growing Rice, which allowed planters to use fertile flood plains for cultivation. With the tidal-flow method of irrigation, fields were flooded by freshwater rivers, which pushed water upstream during high tide and dropped it during low tide. Soon, planters expanded Rice production to the tidal lands on each of the Lowcountry's rivers. ... Source: www.stabroeknews.com --- 19 minutes ago
