"Famine was quite deliberately employed as an instrument of national policy, as the last means of breaking the resistance of the peasantry to the new system where they are divorced from personal ownership of the land and obligated to work." William Henry Chamberlin I grew up in the southern states where(at the time)cotton and tobacco were king and queen. Both killed slowly, either by eating away at the nutrients of the soil or eating away at the body. Famine kills in inches at a time.
