Gregg was a revolutionary figure in the textile industry. His practice of having his employees live in company-owned homes became common. Gregg publicized his ideas in his 1845 Essays on Domestic Industry. He argued that economic domination by the North was best met by Southern industrialization. He gained sufficient support for his own efforts, but was unable to bring about any general change in the agrarian southern economy.
