The book investigates the economic disparities between the industrial North and the agricultural South in the late 19th century United States. It presents data from official records to illustrate how states with significant agricultural output and population, such as Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and North Carolina, accumulated less wealth than the railroad-owning state of Massachusetts during the decade of 1880-1890. The work aims to demonstrate how labor, agriculture, and trade, by sowing the seed, ultimately enabled railroads, banks, and factories to reap the harvest, highlighting a foundational imbalance in wealth accumulation.
