"Mulberry mania" was a wild speculative bubble in the 1830s driven by the dream of establishing a multi-million-dollar silk industry in the United States. In Oneida County—Sauquoit, Whitestown, and New Hartford—farmers hoped to grow silk as a moral alternative to cotton produced by enslaved people. Alecia Pendasulo shares the fascinating story of this ambitious, short-lived initiative.
