Under the fostering influence of this country, the cultivation became great and extensive. In six years after the passage of the act. the export was 217,000 pounds, and at the breaking out of the Revolution it amounted to 1,100,000 pounds, and the southern col- onies became rich upon its culture. Indigo and rice wore their staples. After the Rev- olution, and especially after the ^at territorial acquisitions which the British made in India, the cultivation of American indigo declined. India was... now looked to for indigo, and the American export rapidly declined. In 1800 it had fallen to 40,000 pounds, and in a few years to 6,000 or 8,000 pounds. Our manufactories were growing up, but having no supply of indigo at home, had to supply themselves from abroad. In 1626 this importation came up .to 1,500,000, costing but a fraction less than 12,000,000. Mr. Benton thought it a wise and prudent policy to follow the ex- ample of the British Parliament in the reign of George III, and pro- vide a home supply of this indispensable article.
