I am not completely finished with the chapter but I have some disagreements with Webb. He seems to think that during the booming ages of the cotton industry that it was the plains that made the growing stop, rather than the fact that the civil war was brewing, anti-slavery laws were starting to heat up and we were having conflicts with Mexico. He brings up these things in the chapter but doesn't seem to give credit where it is do in my opinion.
