- Postcard, "Spinning Room of Arkwright Cotton Mills, Spartanburg, S.C.," circa 1912 - After the Civil War, textile mills moved South from New England, where labor was cheap, water and steam power were plentiful, and the local cotton crop saved transportation costs. This Spartanburg, South Carolina, cotton mill, named for British inventor Richard Arkwright, was organized in 1896. Mills like this were noisy, hot, and dangerous, and mill owners drove their workers hard.
