In establishing his journal of commerce, James De Bow committed himself to the principle that the South, lagging behind the North in development of transportation, manufacturing, and agriculture, could best realize its potential by united effort with the North. Agricultural material is abundant in the file; cotton a prominent topic, and cotton mills for the South advocated. Rice growing, soils, forestry and plantation management also discussed. Education was a common topic and railways, canals, river control, and plank roads also received much attention. Various southern commercial conventions were reported in detail. De Bow's was never distinguished in literature, which was originally relegated to a very humble place. In 1850 <under earlier title> a literary department was introduced and thereafter stories, poems, literary criticism, and travel articles appeared. (cont.) Politics entered the Review after the suspension of 1849. By this time, unrest in the South could not be ignored and the slavery question became De Bow's major interest. He strongly advocated slavery and called for greater independence for Southern states. From month to month the Review discussed secession and slavery with eloquence and often with passion. However, following a suspension in 1864 and 1865 De Bow's returned urging acceptance of the reconstruction program of the Union and President Johnson. Publication ceased in 1880 due to increased publishing expenses. Cf. American periodicals, 1741-1900. Title from caption. |
