dbpedia:Cotton_factor
rdfs:comment
In the antebellum South, most cotton planters relied on cotton factors (also known as commission merchants or cotton brokers) to sell their crops for them. This factor was usually located in an urban center of commerce, such as Charleston, Mobile, New Orleans, or Savannah (harbor cities; there was not yet a network of railroads) -- where they could most efficiently tend to business matters for their rural clients.
