Living In High Cotton
Those that know anything about the South’s history will tell you that cotton was the cornerstone of this part of the world’s economy. It also happened to be at the center of the American Civil War, as the mass harvesting of cotton was only possible through the mass usage of slaves. For this reason, you might want to be a bit careful when you use the expression “living in high cotton” to describe how well your life is going, as it might upset those that link it to the darker side of American history.
