He was for it early and pushed for it. Administration was against it.

There's actually a small documentary on the strides he made to make it happen.

Because cotton was the primary cash crop in the years before and they were needed in the fields?

What kind of question was that anyway? Wait just realize Texas A&M fan asked it
