During the time from 1860 to 1900, Texas farmers had lots of reasons to grow more and more cotton. One reason was because new technology made it easier and faster to pick and process cotton. This meant more cotton could be grown and sold for money. Also, there was a big demand for cotton from factories in the North and Europe, so farmers knew they could make good money by growing it. The government also helped by giving free land to settlers, which made it even more tempting for farmers to grow cotton in Texas.
