| has gloss | eng: Dixie is the nickname for southwestern Utah. It was first settled in the early 1860s, when farmers were sent south by Brigham Young to grow cotton, hoping to capitalize on the lack of availability of cotton due to the American Civil War. Thus the name Dixie, to honor the attempt to grow cotton, and its association with the Dixie in the southeastern United States. Yields in the test fields were not as high as expected, and economic viability of growing cotton was never achieved. |
