In the early 1900's to around 1970, the heart of the textile industry existed in the Carolinas. At one point, the Carolinas produced a little over half the woven textiles here in America.
It wasn't just businesses, it was industry that built towns and communities. Generations of talent existed within the region. Restaurants, shops, churches, schools, all existed to serve the community.
Now less than 3% of clothing is made here in the USA. Jobs were exported overseas or south of our border. Those towns crumbled, the businesses that supported them crumbled with them.
The biggest loss? Nearly a generation of skilled talent not passed on.
