Strange that the report states "Herald served an enclave of 25,000 American businessmen in Mexico City." First an enclave is a country within another country and second, I saw something about 25,000 Confederates going to Mexico in 1865. Let's check!

There were other things stated on this page of the St. Croix Avis that may help the Jury to see just how dire conditions were in the South and why Southerners would do anything to get King Cotton back, but the hemp gin would come one day, and I stood in their way.

Those Southerners couldn't stop those Northern Yankees from building the hemp gin, so the next best thing was to make those Yankees believe that I was dangerous and needed to be outlawed and that's where those Confederates in Mexico City came in with their Mexican Herald. Cotton is still grown today
