Francis Lubbock (1815 – 1905) was the governor of Texas between 1861 and 1863, and therefore he was in office during the Civil War (1861-1865).
During his ruling, he promoted the conscription (draft) so that every non-disabled men joined the Confederate States Army. He appointed how slaves should replace working white men so that they could join the army. He even made the aliens who lived in Texas subjects of the draft. In general, he worked hard to ensure the mility abilities of Texas.
He rejected reelection in 1863 in order to join the Confederate Army himself. In 1864 Lubbock was named assistant of Jefferson Davis and traveled to Richmond. He had a close relationship with Jefferson Davis, the only President of the Confederate States from 1861 to 1865. Both would be captured together by the Union authorities.
"Gospel of Wealth' by Andrew Carnegie was written to the 'new' upper class - those that made their own riches (not 'old money'). It was intended to describe their responsibility to share their wealth through philanthropy.
Answer
British East India Company. It turns out, that India was never originally colonized by the British crown, but by a multinational company (MNC). Robert Clive, who won the Battle Of Palashi (‘Plassey’ for ‘Hey bear, ek gin and tonic idaar!’ folks), was an employee (‘Team Leader’ in 21st-century terms) of the world’s first public limited company. (Britons had equity stakes and to make favorable trading deals, the company ended up having an army.)That hired army ended up ousting the weak-by-then Mughals and accidentally ended up with a nation. Ours. Yes, a large company, so influential and powerful, that it made laws of another nation. The modern equivalent would be if, say, Coca-Cola removed the Chinese premier and started running it. It’s unheard of, mad. But that’s what happened, and that is how I am writing this column in English and you’re reading it in English, both parties pretending as we folks have always been English speakers and writers. All because a bunch of company middle management wanted to protect their investments and threaten some nabobs for their tea and silk and spice and opium trade. And the company’s armies also meted out their version of justice. This begs the question: can a company do that? Today, if you visit the dockland area of London from where the East India Company ships once sailed, hundreds a day to rule Calcutta, Bombay, and Madras, there’s a wildlife reserve, a jogging track, an indoor concert hall called the O2 Arena, a bunch of suburban high-rises that look a bit like Whitefield in Bengaluru, and an HSBC call center. Zero signs that it was once the epicenter of the imperial world, ruling 3/4th of the planet with trade.

One important difference between
the economic systems of the north and the south in the period 1790-1840 was Industrialization
and Immigration.
Basically, the slave economy of
the south supported agriculture, while the free society in the North facilitated
industrialization. By the mid-1800s, less than 10 percent of the United States'
industrial capacity was located in the South, whereas the North was responsible
for the production of 97 percent of the country's firearms and 93 percent of
its pig iron… 80 percent of the South population worked on the farms, whereas only
40 percent of the North were employed in agriculture.
The job opportunities created by
industrialization in the North served as a major attraction to European
immigrants, which led to building major cities in the North. By the mid-1800s,
the population of the North was about 23 million while the South's population
was around nine million.
