History
Corn is so hot right now. No other crop even comes close in the 19th century.
This week corn grows up and shows up everywhere but on the fanciest of tables. It's mush, it's booze, it's pork & beef and butter... and fancy pleated collars.
But wait, there's more! It was important in the Napoleonic Wars, and the power shifts in Ireland. And ithelped drive America's first major economic depression. Pretty powerful for a little grain.
