It would be interesting to imagine how such a topic would be handled today. The fact that slaves were historically used in the growing of cotton would no doubt not be tossed off as a historical fact but would be required to become the focal point of the entire book. However, this would be difficult in a book intended to promote and create a positive image of the use of cotton as a fabric. Always a dilemma when you become obsessed with the negative aspects of history rather than celebrating the positive.
