A meeting was held at Ghent in Carroll County, Kentucky to protest the capitalist domination of the cities and states of the Atlantic Coast over the Mississippi Valley. Resolutions calling for more industry in the valley and for additional conventions in the area on the question were passed. Little more was heard of this movement, however. (By John Osborne)
