| Summary: | During the period from 1864-1913 the Cotton South was incorporated into the periphery of the republic of the North through various political and economic manipulations. A core/hinterland struggle came into being between the port cities of New Orleans, Galveston, and Houston. A Southern banking hierarchy evolved between the cities. In 1913 the Federal Reserve was established and Dallas, because it had established better rail and financial connections to the agricultural regions, and to the republic of the North, became the Federal Reserve center for part of the Cotton South, leaving the ''Delta'' as part of another district. New Orleans and, ultimately, Louisiana, remained a periphery, while Texas emerged as a semiperiphery by 1913. |
