More about this scene
he first effective spinning mill in the west of Scotland was built at Rothesay. Between 1787 and 1834, the number of cotton mills opened in Scotland rocketed from just 19 to 134. During the American Civil War imports of Cotton fell from 8,600 tons in 1861 to 500 tons in 1862 and 350 tons in 1864. The effects of the naval blockade by the North on Confederate ports caused severe distress and hardship amongst British mill workers.
